Slow Cooker Orange Chicken



I was looking through my recipe page and I was floored to discover that there is a slow cooker recipe that I haven’t shared yet. I’m really surprised that this has slipped by me. I’ve been making this recipe for years. After a few years I noticed that Kraft changed the recipe. I stick to the original recipe because it works for me. After looking through the Kraft Foods web site I am no longer able to find the recipe. If I am able to find it in the future I will be sure to post the link.

I like this recipe because it is so easy. I typically have all the ingredients on hand so if I needed this meal could easily be a pantry meal. The recipe doesn’t make a lot of chicken so I typically double the recipe. The original recipe calls for chicken thighs but since boneless, skinless chicken breasts are easier to find I usually use those. Chicken thighs are much tastier though so use tem whenever you can.

Enjoy!

1 lb. chicken, boneless and skinless
3 T. flour
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/3 cup BBQ sauce
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. grated gingerroot

Toss chicken with flour in the slow cooker. In a small bowl combine marmalade, BBQ sauce, soy sauce and gingerroot. Pour mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for six to eight hours.

Serve hot over rice.
