CROCK POT ORANGE-CURRY CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO PILAF
This dish came from a long stare into the pantry trying to put together a meal when I didn't have enough sweet potatoes for all 6 of us and couldn't get to the store. But I had a bunch of little oranges the kids weren't eating. Sometimes necessity is delicious. ;) It's not as involved as the long ingredient list looks and I'm sure it would be easy to halve if you're not feeding a big family with hungry teens.

Steps:
- Toss together all the pilaf ingredients except the chicken stock.
- Spread the pilaf in the bottom of a 6 qt, oval crock pot.
- Stuff the chicken cavities with 4 orange chunks and 2 onion quarters.
- Place the chickens into the crock pot on top of the pilaf.
- Sprinkle each chicken with a pinch of celery seed, a pinch of cumin, and 1/2tsp of curry powder.
- Pour the chicken stock into the pot, being careful to not wash the seasoning off the chicken.
- Since the crock pot will be very full, cook for 3-4 hours on high to get the middle heated quickly then turn down to low for another 4-5 hours.

THAI "ORANGE" CURRY CHICKEN
This is by no means a Thai authentic dish. I had a bunch of Thai ingredients in my fridge, and just threw a concoction together and came up with this. It has a LOT of flavor, its spicy, and relatively easy to make.. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add chicken, and cook just until white on all sides (do not overcook). Remove chicken and drain.
- Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until transparent.
- Add coconut milk, then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and let come to a boil.
- Turn down heat to a simmer, and add chicken back into the skillet. Cover and simmer, stirring about every 10 minutes. I usually simmer it for about a half an hour covered, then remove the cover for the last 10 minutes to thicken a bit.
- Serve over rice, and enjoy!
ORANGE GINGER CHICKEN CURRY WITH CARROTS
Steps:
- 1. Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet on medium high. Add cumin, cumin seed, corriander seed, garam masala, ground mustard, oregano, cinnamon, turmeric and paprika. Bloom for 30 seconds or so until fragrant, stirring constantly. 2. Add garlic, ginger and jalapeño, sautée for 1-2 minutes stirring often. 3. Add onion and carrots, stirring often until onions are translucent. Deglaze with a little orange juice to prevent burning the spices if necessary. 4. Add orange juice, water, cilantro, bay leaves and chicken pieces. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low or medium for 30-40 minutes. Add butter to finish and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this dish. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: This recipe is mild to medium in heat, but you can easily adjust it to your liking. If you like spicy food, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. If you don't like spicy food, omit the cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes altogether.
Conclusion:
Orange chicken curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet oranges, savory curry, and tender chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give orange chicken curry a try!
