Orange Chicken

This is a crockpot recipe that I ended up just making in the skillet, and it tasted amazing! My new roommates loved it too, so I'd say it was a definite success.

I did a terrible job of taking pictures during the process of making the chicken, but I did have enough patience to take a picture of the finished product before wolfing it down!


First, I cut the chicken into cubes and lightly breaded it with flour. Then I put the chicken in a warm skillet with a bit of olive oil and let it cook. I then started mixing the orange sauce in a bowl. Once the chicken appeared golden brown, I dumped the sauce into the skillet and let it simmer while the rice cooked.

Thanks to http://www.food.com/recipe/crock-pot-orange-chicken-295686 for the inspiration!

This recipe yielded enough for 3 generous servings of chicken, served over white rice.


Ingredients

-8 small chicken breasts
-1/3 cup all-purpose flour
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-2/3 cup orange marmalade
-1/2 cup mustard
-1/2 cup ketchup
-2 tablespoons soy sauce
-2 tablespoons brown sugar
-3 chopped scallions

Directions

1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken in flour until each piece is lightly coated.

2. Heat a skillet with the olive oil. Place the chicken into the warmed skillet and allow to brown.

3. Mix the marmalade, mustard, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl.

4. Once the chicken appears almost completely cooked, add the marmalade mixture to the skillet and allow to simmer for approximately 10 minutes.

5. Serve over rice. Add the chopped scallions on top of the chicken.

Note: To make in the crockpot, bread the chicken same as step 1, then toss all of the ingredients except for the scallions into a crockpot and allow to cook on low for 4-6 hours.
