Slow Cooker Orange Chicken
1.5 lbs boneless chicken, cut in 2-inch chunks
1/2 c. flour
olive oil for browning the chicken
1 tsp salt
6 oz. (1/2 can) frozen OJ concentrate w/little or no pulp, thawed
3 Tbs. brown sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbs. ketchup
Use 4 qt slow cooker for best results. For a more authentic chinese chicken, dredge the chicken pieces w/the flour & shake off the excess. Throw away remaining flour. Brown chicken pieces on all side in a large skillet on the stove. Chicken does not need to be fully cooked - just sear it enough for the flour to stick & get a nice coating. Place chicken in your crockpot. You may skip this step and just place the chicken into your slow cooker, if you wish.
In a small bowl, combine the OJ, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt & ketchup. Pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken to gingerly coat. Cover & cook on low for 6 hrs or on high for 3-4 hrs. Serve over rice
