It has the perfect blend of honey, garlic, ginger and more to really make this chicken dish so tasty. The noodles soak up all the amazing marinade and each bite is really something special.
The chicken is tender and flavorful for a dinner that is sure to impress. Even my non veggie loving children gobbled up the red peppers, water chestnuts and more. It is that good!

If you are in the market for something new, I really love my Ninja cooker. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker for recipes that call for that.
It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.
I also really like this crockpot as well. I use this all the time and it’s great.
My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.
I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.
Another favorite is this programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!
I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.

How do you make Crock pot Chicken Lo Mein Recipe?
If you can toss things into the slow cooker, you can make this meal. It is that easy!
The chicken thighs go on the bottom and the veggies go in next.
Pour the broth all over.
Whisk together the honey, garlic and other sauces with the seasonings to make that amazing sauce. Once it is all mixed together, pour into the crock pot.
Dinner will be ready and waiting when you get home for the day. I like to boil the lo mein noodles while I’m finishing up dinner and then stir into the crock pot.
Feel free to top with more sliced green onions if you prefer. It is SO good!
WHY USE THE CROCK POT TO COOK CHICKEN LO MEIN?
Well, why not. 🙂 The slow cooker makes dinner time so easy.
You can make this recips on the stove top but it is so nice coming home to dinner already being cooked! This really helps us stick to the menu plan and not get tempted to eat out.
Plus, the chicken is so tender and flavorful from being slow cooked all day!
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LO MEIN AND CHOW MEIN?
Both of these dishes use the same type of noodles and often it is the same recipe. The difference is in how the noodles are cooked.
Chow mein noodles are normally cooked to be crispy and lo mein noodles are served soft from being boiled.
WHAT OTHER PROTEINS CAN YOU ADD TO LO MEIN?
You can use anything your family likes. We also really love beef lo mein as a nice change from the chicken.
Shrimp is another tasty idea in lo mein. If you are looking for slow cooker lo mein weight watchers ideas, try bulking up the recipe with more veggies!
You can also add sambal oelek for added flavor. It is a type of chili sauce. Oyster sauce is also good as well.
WHAT NOODLES ARE USED IN LO MEIN?
Lo mein noodles are a type of Chinese wheat flour noodles.
The leftovers are one of our favorite crockpot lunch recipes!
In fact, I think it is just as good if not better the next day! The flavors really blend together and it is so delicious.
