Chicken Lo Mein

Everybody in my family loves noodles, so this recipe is always a hit. In this simple slow cooker adaptation of the popular Asian take-out dish, chicken thighs and loads of veggies get simmered all day in a sweet and savory sauce.

How to make Easy Chicken Lo Mein 

*Note:  The full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

  • Add onions and chicken thighs to a large slow cooker.

How to Serve

Lo mein noodles are the most traditional option, but really any type of noodle or pasta would work great. I most often use fettuccini pasta in this dish because I always have that stocked in my pantry. Egg noodles and rice noodles would also be great options.

How to Store

Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They will last 3-4 days. 

You could freeze leftovers for up to 3 months, but the texture won’t be as good. The sugar snap peas and the water chestnuts won’t keep much of their crunch. And the noodles will be very soft. Place in the refrigerator to defrost the day before you want to reheat it.

How to Reheat

I like to reheat the lo mein in a skillet over medium heat. Heat it until it is warmed through, occasionally giving it a gentle stir.
