Orange Ckn

Notes: this was the best one we’ve had so far but we still aren’t big fans of it. Orange chicken just might not be our thing. We may give it one more try – with orange juice to lessen the strong flavor.

Slow Cooker Orange Chicken

(Recipe from Team T Adventures)

Ingredients:

• boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks (I used about 4)
• 1/3 cup flour
• olive oil
• 1/2 Tbl. salt
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 Tbl. ketchup
• 6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (thaw or throw it in the microwave for 45 seconds)
• 4 Tbl.  brown sugar


In a bowl, mix the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and ketchup.  Pour the flour in a small bowl.  Cover the chicken breast chunks in flour and shake off the excess.


Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the flour-covered chicken.
The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked since it's going in the crock pot.

After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the crock pot. Then cover the chicken with your sauce mixture and give the pot a stir.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3.

Serve over rice and even add veggies if you want a healthier meal.

Blogger said: I am crazy about Chinese food!  I always feel so guilty after I chow down on a three-course orange chicken meal at Panda Express (yes, I get the same entree 3 times because I love it so much),  so I thought this might be a better option for me.  It was so easy!  My family loved it.  I could have gone with a little less "orange," but other than that, it is a keeper!
