Slow-Cooked Mandarin Chicken image

Oranges and olives are elegantly paired in this different but delicious dish. The chicken is marinated, then cooked slowly in a flavorful sauce, so it stays moist. -Aney Chatterson, Soda Springs, Idaho

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would try a simpler slow-cooker chicken recipe next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would try cooking the chicken on a lower temperature next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by using less mandarin oranges or by adding some spice to the sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then used it to make this dish on Monday night. It was a quick and easy meal that the whole family loved.
