Slow Cooker Chicken Stir Fry


  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Description

A flavorful and easy slow cooker chicken stir fry with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a savory homemade stir fry sauce. Perfect for a hands-off dinner served over rice or noodles.


Ingredients

Scale

1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup snap peas, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger until combined.
Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour half of the sauce mixture over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, add broccoli florets, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, sliced carrot, and snap peas to the slow cooker.
Pour the remaining sauce over the vegetables and chicken.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for an additional 1 hour, until vegetables are tender crisp and chicken is cooked through.
About 10 minutes before serving, heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Drizzle the hot oil over the stir fry in the slow cooker to add a slight sear and flavor, then gently stir to combine.
Serve the chicken stir fry over cooked rice or noodles.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
