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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you have too much chicken in the slow cooker, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts.
  • Serve the chicken over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
