Put the chicken in a large slow cooker. Add the stir-fry mix and mushrooms. Pour in the coconut milk and broth. Don't stir. Cook, covered, on high heat for 4 hours or on low heat for 8 hours. -
Transfer the chicken to large cutting board. If using the low setting, change it to high. Add the lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, peas, basil, and noodles to the slow cooker. Stir until the noodles are submerged in the liquid. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the noodles are soft. -
Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Quickly stir into the soup and re-cover the slow cooker. Ladle into bowls. Serve with the hot sauce.
Cooking Tip: When using a slow cooker, make sure the ingredient that needs to be cooked the longest, such as meat, is placed on the bottom, which is closest to the heat source.
Keep it Healthy: Use vermicelli brown rice noodles, if you can find them.
