Tonight’s Orange Chicken

I really did make a March menu.  I was especially excited about tonight’s feature:

Crock Pot Orange Chicken

Ingredients:

• 3-4 boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks
• 1/3 cup flour
• olive oil
• 1/2 T salt
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 T ketchup
• 6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (thaw or throw it in the microwave for 45 seconds)
• 4 T brown sugar

In a bowl, mix the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and ketchup.

Pour the flour in a small bowl.
Cover the chicken breast chunks in flour and shake off the excess.

Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the flour-covered chicken.

The chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked since it’s going in the crock pot.

After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the crock pot.

Then cover the chicken with your sauce mixture and give the pot a stir.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3.

What I Did: Serve over Brown Rice rice made in the

rice cooker with a little Wok or Sesame Seed Oil and add

veggies (I had broccoli) for a complete meal.

Enjoy!

Mine actually turned out as nicely as this.  I didn’t take a picture of my actual bowl, consisting of the brown rice, broccoli, and chicken.  My 5-year-old took a bite and I never saw a kid so excited about broccoli!
