Yummy 5 Ingredient Crockpot Orange Chicken

Whether you call it a Crock Pot, Crockpot or Slow Cooker (they’re all the same) you’ll want to take a look at some of my favorite Kitchen Tools that I used for this easy Chinese food recipe!

Favorite Kitchen Tools and Gadgets used in this recipe:

Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners 2 Pack (8 Liners

<<<If you want to make clean up REALLY EASY these crockpot liners are one of my all time favorite items to use! Honestly…just throw away when done! YAY!

Crockpot ~ I love my crockpot, as a matter of fact I’m going to step up my game and be buying a new one soon.  You can cook so many things in it, from main dishes, desserts, breakfast, soups…anything!

Mixing Bowl with no slip bottom ~ There is nothing like using a mixing bowl with a rubber bottom! No slipping and sliding on the counter and if it has a handle and a pouring spout…that’s even better!

Silicone Whisk ~ These are my all time faves as I can use them in hot or cold recipes for whipping things up quick.

In this crockpot orange chicken recipe the Ginger and Garlic are optional. For the picky eaters in your life that don’t like a lot of things, the Ginger and Garlic are very mild in this recipe if you do decide to add it. We’ve found that the whole family LOVES this recipe.

Is it OK to put raw chicken in slow cooker?

Yes, you absolutely can place raw chicken into a slow cooker. Even though you are cooking slowly, your raw chicken is still cooking.

Ingredients:

• 3 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts or 5 ~ 6 Thighs
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• Optional ~ 1 tsp. fresh grated Ginger
• Optional ~ 1 ~ 2 tsp Minced Garlic

Directions:

To make this Easy Orange Ginger Chicken:

Insert slow cooker liner or spray crockpot with cooking spray. 

Cut up the Chicken Breasts and place chicken pieces into the crockpot.  I use chicken breast and freeze because I buy in bulk so it’s very inexpensive for me but you can use chicken thighs and it’s still very deelish.  A great way to cut back on expenses!

Orange Chicken Sauce Ingredients:

Mix together in a small bowl:

• soy sauce,
• orange juice,
• honey,
• ginger ~ optional
• garlic ~ optional
• cornstarch

Whisk together thoroughly.

Cover and cook on low for 5 ~ 6 hours.

Serve over cooked brown rice or white rice. Add green onions if you like and yum! EAT!

Enjoy my friend!
