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.

ORANGE SLOW COOKER (CROCK POT) CHICKEN



Orange Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Chicken image

This is a work in progress. I got a version of this from a friend and adapted it to what I had in the fridge. It's really rich so cutting down the butter or making substitutions would probably work. It's so yummy though, you won't be able to stay away from the left overs! We served this with rice and peas.

Time 5h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 orange, zest of
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
4 garlic cloves, mashed

Steps:

  • Layer chicken thighs on top of onions in slow cooker.
  • Melt butter and mix with remaining ingredients.
  • Pour over chicken and onion and cook on high or low until it's done. It took about 5 hours on high for my slow cooker, which I think runs hot.
  • Note: The original recipe calls for lemon juice and zest and you could totally cut down on the butter. Next time I make this I will probably use a 1/4 cup of butter and then add some chicken stock.
