Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness less than 1 inch
• 1 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce divided
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons corn starch
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
• chopped green onions and steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. 
2. In a medium sauce pan over high heat combine 1 cup soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, ginger, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. 
3. Once sauce is boiling, whisk together remaining 1/3 cup soy sauce and corn starch until dissolved and stir mixture into boiling sauce. Stir 1-2 minutes until sauce is thickened. 
4. Remove from heat, stir in sesame seeds, and pour half of the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Reserve the remaining sauce for later. Use a fork or tongs to turn chicken over a couple of times to coat in the sauce.

Serves 2 to 4 peoplePrep time: 20 min Cook time: 2 hrs 45 min

For the Marinade:

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for the slow cooker
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely minced
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

For the Slow Cooker:

• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 1 leek, trimmed and cleaned, cut into thin half moons
• 3/4 cups chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons dry white wine
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 handful fresh chives, finely chopped

1. To make the marinade, add all the marinade ingredients except the chicken to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Nestle the chicken in the marinade. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
2. Add the shallot and leek to the slow cooker, along with a pinch of salt. Add the chicken stock and cornstarch to the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Make sure the cornstarch is dissolved in the chicken stock with no lumps. Add the mustard, white wine, and heavy cream, stirring once more to combine everything.
3. Add the marinated chicken to the slow cooker, discarding any excess marinade. If some marinade and herbs are clinging to the chicken when you add it to the slow cooker, that’s fine. Set the slow cooker to low, and cook for 2 1/2 hours. When about 2 hours have passed, boil water in a large pot and cook the egg noodles according to the directions on the package. Toss the cooked egg noodles with butter and set aside.
4. After 2 1/2 hours, check to see if the chicken is fully cooked. If it’s less than 165°F at its thickest point, continue cooking. Check the chicken every 15 minutes until it’s fully cooked.
5. When the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into medallions. Taste the sauce in the slow cooker. Add more salt as needed.
6. To serve, arrange some chicken atop a portion of egg noodles. Top with sauce. Garnish with chives.
