Slow Cooker Orange Chicken

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

2-3 lbs boneless chicken thighs (cut into cubes)

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

4 Tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 1/2 cups orange marmalade

3 Tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

pinch of pepper

Directions

In a bowl, mix the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, marmalade, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

In a ziplock bag, add the cornstarch and chicken. Shake to coat. Pour vegetable oil into the skillet and brown the sides of the covered chicken. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked since it is going in the crockpot.

After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the crockpot. Then cover the chicken with the sauce mixture and give the pot a stir.

Cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Serve with rice and broccoli or edamame.

Notes

You can skip browning the chicken first if making this as a freezer meal or just in a hurry to prep.
