What is a Slow Cooker?

A slow cooker is a countertop appliance that cooks food gently over several hours at a low temperature. It’s perfect for hands-off meals, allowing flavours to develop while keeping meats tender and juicy.

You simply add your ingredients, set the heat to low or high, and let it do the work while you get on with your day. Slow cookers are ideal for dishes like stews, curries and shredded or diced chicken recipes like this one.

They’re also great for meal prep, helping you cook in bulk without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• Diced Chicken Breast: A lean, high-protein option that stays juicy and tender when slow cooked.
• Noodles: The perfect base to soak up the rich sauce — egg, rice or whole wheat all work well.
• Soy Sauce, Hoisin Sauce, Honey and Sriracha: The sweet, savoury and spicy combo that creates the signature sticky glaze.
• Garlic Purée and Ginger Purée: Add bold, aromatic depth to the sauce.
• Sesame Oil: Just a splash adds nutty, toasted richness.
• Chicken Stock Cube: Boosts umami and keeps the chicken flavourful and moist.
• Cornflour: Helps thicken the sauce into a silky, glossy coating.
• Seasonings (All Purpose Seasoning, Salt, Pepper): Tie everything together and elevate the flavour.
• Spring Onions and Sesame Seeds: Finish the dish with freshness and a light crunch.

How to Make Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Noodles

See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Start by whisking together the soy sauce, hoisin, honey, sriracha, garlic purée, ginger purée, sesame oil, and a crumbled stock cube in a small bowl to create the sauce.

Add the diced chicken breast to the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top. Stir to ensure all the chicken pieces are well coated. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Once the chicken is ready, mix the cornflour with a splash of water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker and cook on high for a further 15–20 minutes with the lid off, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

While the sauce thickens, cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and add them to the slow cooker, mixing well, so the noodles are fully coated in the sticky sauce.

Serve it with sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for freshness and crunch.

Tips

• Add the cornflour slurry at the end: It thickens the sauce perfectly without making it clumply.
• Cook with the lid off to reduce: Leave the lid off during the last 15–20 minutes to let the sauce thicken and concentrate.
• Garnish just before serving: Spring onions and sesame seeds add freshness and texture, but only add them right before eating.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Make it milder: Omit or reduce the sriracha for a sweeter, less spicy version.
• Swap the noodles: Try a different flavour like chocolate or caramel for a unique twist.
• Use chicken thighs: Boneless, skinless thighs work just as well and add a richer flavour.
• Add vegetables: Stir in cooked broccoli, peppers or sugar snap peas for extra volume and nutrients.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the hob with a splash of water to loosen the sauce. This dish is not freezer-friendly once the noodles are added, but the chicken and sauce can be frozen separately before combining.
