| Orange Chicken over Rice with Green Beans |
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp. olive oil
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
6 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. ketchup
Dredge chicken pieces with flour and shake off the excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet and brown chicken on all sides. Place chicken in slow cooker.
In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and ketchup. Pour sauce over chicken and toss gently to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Serve over rice.
Although I think I get points for looks, I screwed up the recipe and put too much orange concentrate in it. Not only did it burn in the crock pot a bit, but it tasted terrible. It went straight down the garbage disposal. I'll have to try this again another night.
We both failed at the same recipe. This just wasn't made for the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteThis is my go-to, rave review recipe for Orange Chicken. Replace the water with 2x orange juice. I pan fry this chicken; it's so good my sister had me make it when I visited her!

Mmm looks good! I'll have to figure out some alternative for the egg, but that shouldn't be too difficult. I need to buy a lot of the ingredients too... like rice wine, corn starch, sesame oil, etc. I'm having to change my whole cooking repertoire and it's been kind of difficult!
