Time 6h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut- up
1/3 c flour
1/2 Tbsp salt
3 Tbsp ketchup
4 Tbsp brown sugar
olive oil (for cooking chicken)
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate thawed or put in microwave for 45 seconds

Steps:

1. In a bowl, mix the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt and ketchup.
2. Pour the flour in a small bowl. Cover the chicken in flour and shake off excess. Pour small amount of olive oil in skillet and brown the chicken. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked.
3. After chicken is done cooking pour in crock-pot. Then cover the chicken with the sauce mixture and give it a stir. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.

Tips:

Use a large crockpot to ensure that the chicken has enough space to cook evenly.
To make sure your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
If you want your chicken to be extra crispy, you can finish it off by broiling it in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Serve your crockpot orange chicken with steamed rice, noodles, or a side of vegetables.
For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use low-sodium soy sauce and honey instead of sugar.

Crockpot orange chicken is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great recipe for entertaining, as it can be made ahead of time and kept warm in the crockpot until you are ready to serve.
