Crock Pot Orange Chicken





Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts

1 cup flour
olive oil
1 Tbs kosher salt 
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (1/2 can)
3 Tbs brown sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbs ketchup
Extra flavoring:
1/2 tsp minced ginger
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbs soy sauce

1 tsp red pepper flakes (if you like it a little spicy)

Directions
1. Cut the chicken into small cubes. Cover in flour.

2. Put some oil in a heated skillet and brown the chicken. Don't cook all the way through.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the frozen orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and ketchup. Zap the frozen juice in the microwave for 30 seconds.

4. Chop and mince your garlic and ginger.

5. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and red pepper flakes to the sauce and stir. 

6. Combine the chicken and sauce in a crock pot.

7. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Try to stir every hour so that the chicken doesn't burn.




Ian and I loved this dish! We served it over jasmine rice and paired it with green beans. We thought it was so yummy and it is a lot healthier than Panda Express :)
