CROCK-POT MEXICAN ORANGE CHICKEN (POLLO CON NARANJA)
My husband had open-heart surgery when we were living on the Texas-Mexican border in 2001. The wife of his heart-surgeon, Velda de La Garza, wrote a heart-healthy Mexican cookbook (*Healthy Mexican Cooking*), which we purchased while he was in the hospital. This dish is one of our favorites -- an easy Mexican take on that old favorite, Orange Chicken. We found it needed a little more spice than called for; you could either up the cayenne or leave the jalapeno seeds in. But then we like spicy food!

Steps:

- Add orange juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, cayenne, jalapeno and salt to blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Tips:
- When selecting chicken breasts, choose ones that are of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- To achieve a crispy crust on the chicken, make sure to pat it dry before cooking.
- For a more flavorful sauce, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest.
- If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute it with Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
- To thicken the sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and cook until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or rice to complete the meal.
