Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 5h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts ((about 4 medium breasts))
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup reduced-sugar orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Prepared brown rice (for serving)
Sliced green onions (optional for serving)
Sliced or slivered toasted almonds ( and/or toasted sesame seeds optional for serving)

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken in the bottom, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the chicken. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours on high or 5 to 6 hours on low, until the chicken registers 165 degrees F and is cooked through. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • With a mesh sieve, strain the sauce into a bowl or measuring cup. Discard the solids, then return the liquid to the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker heat to high. Mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water to create a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker sauce. Cover and cook on high until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes, stirring it often. Return the chicken pieces to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve with prepared rice, sprinkled with green onions and toasted almonds or sesame seeds as desired.

SLOW COOKER ORANGE CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Orange Chicken image

The easiest orange chicken ever because your slow cooker does all the work!! Super juicy, tender, and coated with a sweet-yet-tangy orange glaze that's irresistible!!

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Slow Cooker

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground ginger, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted if desired (add to a dry skillet and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds or until fragrant)
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thin for garnishing
orange slices, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • Line a 3 to 6-quart slow cooker with a liner if using one. I prefer to use liners for easy cleanup.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over bottom of the liner or slow cooker.
  • To a large, gallon-sized ziptop plastic bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt, pepper, seal bag, and toss to coat chicken evenly. Add chicken to slow cooker, evenly distributed; set aside.
  • To a 2-cup measuring cup or medium bowl, add the orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger (I prefer 1 teaspoon but some people are sensitive to ginger), garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir to combine.
  • Pour mixture over the chicken, using a spoon to distribute the sauce as necessary, making sure all pieces are coated.
  • Cook covered on high for about 2 hours or on low for about 4 hours. If cooking on high, start checking at 90 minutes and if cooking on low, start checking at 3 hours. All slow cookers vary so cook until chicken is done (reaches 165F on an instant read thermometer).
  • Add chicken to a plate with as much extra cooking sauce spooned over the top as desired, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, optional orange wedges, and serve immediately.

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN



Baked Orange-Glazed Chicken image

One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup orange juice
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk orange juice, vegetable oil, orange zest, paprika, mustard, and salt in a bowl. Arrange chicken breast halves in a baking dish; pour orange juice mixture over chicken.
  • Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes, basting with orange glaze every 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Prep the chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces. This helps to remove any excess moisture and allows the marinade to better penetrate the chicken.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for this recipe is made with orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. These ingredients combine to create a delicious and tangy flavor that will infuse the chicken as it cooks.
  • Cook the chicken on low: Cooking the chicken on low for 6-8 hours allows the flavors of the marinade to fully penetrate the meat and results in tender and juicy chicken.
  • Make the orange glaze: While the chicken is cooking, make the orange glaze by combining orange juice, honey, and cornstarch. This glaze will add a sweet and citrusy flavor to the chicken and help to caramelize the exterior.
  • Baste the chicken: Baste the chicken with the orange glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This helps to keep the chicken moist and adds extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This orange glazed crock pot chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to impress. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
