Crockpot Amazing Shredded Chicken
Serves 4-6 main course meals
Ingredients:
- 6 small to medium skinless and boneless chicken pieces, I used thighs, you can use breasts as well or mixed
- 1 cup chicken stock or water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, I used low sodium
- 1 tsp or more garlic and onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp 5 spice seasoning, optional
- 1 1/2 tbsp dark sesame oil
- 1 whole onion, peeled and cut in half
- 2 -3 garlic cloves peeled and left whole
- 1 bag baby carrots
- 1 bag frozen corn, thawed slightly
- 2 tbsp corn starch with 4 tbsp cold water, mixed well until corn starch is dissolved. Do this right before you are ready to add and only if needed.
- 1 bag thin egg noodles
Directions:
- Turn crockpot on high and either spray with cooking spray or line with plastic crockpot liner.
- Wash chicken with cold water and place on bottom of crockpot. Add stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings.
- Throw in onion, garlic, and bag of carrots right on top.
- Cover and cook for about 4 hours. Check and see that carrots are fork tender and chicken is cooked through and starting to shred. If the liquid is very thin and you want a thicker sauce, now is the time to add the corn starch mixture. Pour into liquid and stir around. Toss in the bag of corn. Cook another 1 hour or until the sauce has thickened.
- Cook noodles as per package in boiling water. When cooked, add some olive oil or butter, toss.
- Uncover crockpot and shred all the chicken. Place noodles on a serving plate and spoon chicken and veggies over noodles.
