Notes

Make it in the Instant Pot if you're short on time.
To thicken the sauce, add in a cornstarch slurry.
Brown the chicken and veggies before adding them to the crockpot for depth of flavour.
If you’re not a fan of egg noodles, you can also serve this dish with pasta or rice.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a pot on the stovetop and serve with fresh egg noodles.
Freeze this recipe for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat as normal.
