Can I use frozen chicken in this recipe?

Yes, you can. Just make sure to increase the cooking time by about an hour. The sauce will still thicken beautifully, but it’s best to cook on LOW so the chicken has time to absorb the honey garlic flavors evenly.

How do I keep the noodles from getting too soft?

Add your noodles only during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking . Stir them occasionally to make sure they’re coated but not overcooked. If you’re meal prepping, you can even boil the noodles separately and combine them right before serving.

What if my sauce turns out too thin?

To thicken the sauce, remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let moisture escape. Or, you can mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of cold water , stir it in, and cook for another 5–10 minutes until the glaze thickens.

Description

Sweet, savory, and perfectly sticky, this Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken & Noodles recipe delivers tender chicken coated in a rich honey-garlic glaze with noodles that soak up every drop of flavor.

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless chicken thighs or breasts

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 cup chicken broth

1 tsp black pepper

8 oz egg noodles or rice noodles

2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, chicken broth, and black pepper until smooth.

3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.

4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours (or HIGH for 2–3 hours).

5. About 15–20 minutes before serving, add uncooked egg noodles directly into the crockpot and stir gently to coat.

6. Allow noodles to cook until tender and soaked with the honey garlic glaze.

7. Shred or slice chicken, toss with noodles, and mix until everything is evenly coated.

Notes

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.

Vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers can be added in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

To make it thicker, remove the lid for the last 15 minutes or stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water).

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.

Reheat with a splash of broth to revive the sauce and noodles.
