Why Try Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken?

What makes this dish shine is the ease of preparation and the crave-worthy sauce that coats every piece of chicken. The slow cooker ensures the chicken stays juicy and falls apart effortlessly, while the aromatics and sauce meld perfectly without constant supervision.

Serve over fluffy rice or crisp greens for a meal that’s both satisfying and healthier than traditional takeout. It’s a fantastic option for feeding a hungry crew or making flavorful leftovers you’ll actually be excited to eat.

Preparations Made Simple

The key to this recipe’s simplicity is letting the slow cooker do the heavy lifting. Chop the vegetables in minutes using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick prep and perfectly even onion slices. No more teary eyes or uneven pieces!

If you love your protein ultra-tender and easy to shred, a dedicated tool like the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen speeds up the process for perfectly shredded chicken every time, right in the slow cooker.

Assembling & Serving Your Mongolian Chicken

After slow-cooking, your chicken will be ready to soak up the rich Mongolian sauce. Give it a quick shred, toss back into the sauce, and serve with your favorite sides.

To enjoy every drop of the sauce and prevent sticking, you can line your slow cooker insert with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll—certainly helpful for easy cleanup.

For a restaurant-quality presentation, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or you can crisp up some broccoli in the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 while the main dish simmers for a complete, healthy meal.
