EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN LO MEIN NOODLES {CROCK-POT

What dish comes to mind when you think of comfort food? Ours is definitely anything with noodles or pasta. I can’t even begin to choose a favorite from this LIST. Totally the best comfort food!

Along with chow mein and  fried rice – Lo Mein is the perfect dish for cleaning out the fridge. It’s a super easy dish to customize. Cook with your favorite veggies and any protein you like.

Beef, shrimp, pork or tofu – you decide!

Season the chicken with salt and pepper then pour sauce over top
Add the veggies and fresh pre-cooked or cooked dry noodles NEAR the end or JUST PRIOR to serving. This will ensure that the noodles will NOT get too soft and mushy.
Use fresh egg noodles or any type of cooked pasta noodles you like. I’ve used fresh egg noodles, spaghetti noodles and linguine noodles. They will all work great!
Switch it up with your favorite vegetables. I used baby bok choy and carrots here and I have also used snow peas, baby corn or bell peppers successfully in the past.
Use pork instead of chicken or extra firm or deep fried tofu like this –> vegetarian version



Wash and chop all the vegetables ahead of time and store in a zip-top freezer bag in the fridge
Mix the sauce ingredients together the day before and store in an air-tight container in the fridge
Make the noodles the day before and store in an air-tight container in the fridge
Weekly meal prep or the leftovers can be packed into lunch containers for the week
