This 5-ingredient slow cooker ramen is the kind of easy family supper that saves the day when everyone is busy and hungry. Using raw dry ramen noodles right in the crock pot keeps prep simple, and the noodles soak up all that savory flavor as they cook. It has that cozy, takeout-inspired feel, but it comes together with pantry-friendly ingredients and very little hands-on work, which makes it especially nice for a relaxed Parents’ Day meal at home.
Serve this ramen with steamed broccoli, sugar snap peas, or a simple cucumber salad to add something fresh and crisp alongside the rich noodles. If you want to round it out even more, a plate of pot stickers, roasted edamame, or a bowl of fruit makes this an easy, family-style dinner that feels a little special without making extra work.
Servings: 4
2 packages raw dry ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, then add the chicken broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir gently around the chicken to help dissolve the sugar.
2. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
