Slow-Cooker Chicken Ramen Recipe

Fresh Direct · February 17, 2022 ·

With ramen, you can slurp to your heart’s content. The Japanese dish was made for going all-in on the noodles, lapping up the broth, and letting all that steaminess rise up in a soul-soothing gust.

For most, real-deal ramen is an every-now-and-then sort of thing that you’d go out to a restaurant for. But with the help of a slow cooker, you can enjoy it at home, too.

This recipe, created in partnership with our friends at So Yummy, calls for cooking everything together in the crock. That means easy prep and even easier cleanup. Get the instructions below, then shop the ingredients on FreshDirect.


Slow-Cooker Chicken Ramen Recipe

What You’ll Need:
1 quart ramen broth 
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
2 green onions, sliced
2 portions dried ramen noodles
1 chicken breast

Optional garnishes:
1 small bunch radishes, thinly sliced
1 hard-boiled, seasoned egg, halved
1 bunch bok choy, blanched and cut into bite-sized pieces

What To Do:
Put ramen broth, sesame oil, shiitake mushrooms, and scallions in a slow cooker. Place ramen noodles on top, then lay chicken breast on top of the noodles. Cook on high for one hour.

Pour everything into bowls, then add desired toppings—we suggest thinly-sliced radishes, hard-boiled egg halves, and some blanched bok choy.

Create this easy heirloom tomato grain bowl using the African supergrain fonio (brought to us by our friends at @yolelefoods !)

Here’s how to make it:
Start by preparing the fonio according to the package directions, then top with fresh corn, heirloom tomatoes, crispy cucumbers, feta cheese, red onion, and mint. Drizzle with a bit of balsamic, olive oil, and coarse sea salt, then dig in!

Veggies taste better when they’re local, and they taste even better when they’re from Hepworth Farms. But don't just take our word for it, try them for yourself.

Hepworth Farms’ is a 7th generation family farm in Milton, NY whose commitment to “dechemicalization” has yielded them over 400 varieties of organic produce.

Summer calls for seafood. A shrimp & clam boil may be the perfect way to celebrate the season. A boil featuring fresh shellfish is a super easy way to enjoy all your favs in one dish. 

Here’s how it’s done: 
- Cut an onion into quarters. Halve a head of garlic horizontally. 
- Add 1 1/2 inches of water to a stock pot, followed by onion, garlic, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil on the stove. 
- Once boiling, add one bag of whole, small potatoes (such as Blushing Belle). Let cook a couple minutes. 
- In the meantime, cut 2 andouille sausages (or more, if you like) into 1 1/2-inch pieces, then add to boiling pot. Cut 4 ears corn into smaller segments and add to pot. Continue to boil for another 5 minutes. 
- Gather 2 lb shrimp (preferably shell-on), 1 dozen clams and 1 lb mussels. Toss seafood with a few drizzles of neutral oil and 1 tbsp Old Bay. Add to pot, cover, and cook 2 to 3 minutes. 
- Remove from heat and let rest 1 minute before transferring to a platter for serving. Season with more Old Bay, if you like.
