Can I substitute chicken breasts for thighs?

Yes! Chicken breasts work in this Crock Pot chicken Ramen. Just know they may not be as tender as thighs, but the flavors still turn out delicious.

Can I use different vegetables?

Absolutely. Feel free to swap the carrots, bell pepper, or snap peas for mushrooms, bok choy, or even spinach. This recipe is wonderfully flexible.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The noodles will continue to absorb the broth, so add a little extra broth when reheating.

Can I freeze Crock Pot chicken Ramen?

You can freeze the broth, chicken, and veggies—but not the cooked noodles. If you plan to freeze a batch, leave the noodles out and add fresh ramen when you reheat.

Will instant ramen work instead of packaged ramen?

Yes, but the texture may differ slightly. Packaged ramen holds up best in the slow cooker.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add chicken thighs, minced garlic, carrots, bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and scallions to the slow cooker.
Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, then sprinkle in the brown sugar and one ramen seasoning packet.
Stir well, cover, and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 6 hours.
Once the chicken is tender, break the ramen noodles into the slow cooker and submerge them in the broth.
Cover and cook for 20–30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until the noodles are soft.
Shred chicken if desired, stir everything together, and serve warm.

Notes

For firmer noodles, add them during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking.

Chicken breasts can replace thighs but may be slightly less tender.

Add chili flakes or sriracha if you want a little heat.

Leftovers thicken as noodles absorb broth — add extra broth when reheating.
