1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)

Directions

Combine first 10 ingredients until well mixed. Place chicken in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker; add broth mixture. Cook, covered, on low until tender, 3-4 hours. Remove chicken; when cool enough to handle, coarsely shred meat with two forks. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Return chicken to slow cooker; add noodles. Cook, covered, on low for 15 minutes. Stir noodles; cook until thickened and noodles are tender, 15 minutes longer. Serve with green onions.
