Crock pot Orange Chicken

Crock pot Orange Chicken
Boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks
1/3 cup flour
Olive oil
½ T. salt
1 t. balsamic vinegar
3 T. ketchup
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (thaw or microwave for 45 seconds)
4 T. brown sugar

·         In a bowl mix orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt and ketchup.
·         Pour flour in a small bowl. Cover chicken chunks in flour and shake off excess.
·         Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the flour-covered chicken.
·         Place chicken in crock pot and cover with sauce mixture, stir.
·         Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3. Serve over rice.



 This was a little too strong for my liking but was also very delicious. And not as complicated to make as I thought it would be. The only thing I didn't have was the orange juice. If I make this again I will probably dilute the orange juice a bit.
