Let the slow cooker handle the chicken, then add broccoli and chewy udon noodles at the end and dinner is pretty much done. The honey sriracha sauce hits that sweet, spicy, garlicky combo I’m always craving, and the shredded chicken soaks up so much flavor while it cooks. It's an easy way to satisfy a noodle craving while still getting plenty of chicken and veggies into the same bowl.
Add the soy sauce, sriracha, hoisin sauce, honey, ginger paste, garlic, cornstarch, and chicken stock to the slow cooker. Whisk until well combined and the cornstarch is incorporated.
Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat them in the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it in the sauce.
Add the broccoli florets, cover, and cook for another 30 minutes on high until the broccoli is tender to your liking.
Add the cooked udon noodles and gently toss until everything is evenly coated in the sauce and the noodles are warmed through.
Serve topped with sliced green onions, sprinkle of sesame seeds, and an extra drizzle of sriracha or sauce, if desired.
