A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken stir-fry using a slow cooker for convenience.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken pieces on all sides.
Browning the chicken adds a depth of flavor to the dish.
Transfer the browned chicken to the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken is evenly spread out in the slow cooker for even cooking.
Add the carrots, green onions, and celery to the slow cooker.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for consistent cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
Mix the sauce thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well combined.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the heat and cooking consistency.
Mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 15 to 30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir the thickener mixture well to prevent lumps in the sauce.
Serve the chicken stir-fry over rice or noodles and enjoy.
Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds for a fresh touch.
