Slow Cooker Orange Chicken
I used to make this on the stovetop all of the time. I liked it, but it was too, too sweet at times.
Taking a chance, I took my recipe for slow cooker General Tso's chicken, switched out the hoisin sauce and used orange marmalade instead.
It is perfect. The curry powder offsets the sweetness and makes a nice balance. I also use aminos acid, instead of soy sauce. It is so much better. Nicer flavor.
You can coat the crock pot with oil, but you really should use a liner. It gets very sticky.
Enjoy!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Dice the chicken up into 1 inch pieces. Place the chicken into a medium bowl.
- 2
Add the corn starch, curry powder and cayenne pepper onto the chicken, then mix until evenly coated. Personally, I use my hands to mix it together.

Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat, coat with the coconut oil, then added the chicken. Heat each side for about 5 minutes, until the pink is gone. Place the chicken into the slow cooker, along with the carrots and peppers. Mix the peppers into the pot. ***Please use a slow cooker liner***

In a small bowl, add the orange marmalade, aminos acid, rice wine vinegar, ground ginger, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Stir to mix. Pour onto the chicken in the slow cooker. Close the lid, set the temperature to low, and the timer to 2 hours.

After 2 hours, add the broccoli to the slow cooker. Stir it, then put the cover back onto the slow cooker. Once again, set the temperature to low and the timer to 30 minutes.

Slow Cooker General Tso's Chicken Slow Cooker General Tso's Chicken
I first tried General Tso's Chicken when I was about 13. It was spicy, it was tasty, and it was very different from our usual Chinese Take-out Orders. I loved it at first sight. I started cooking a few years later and was always up for trying to make it, but I was intimidated.A few years ago, I tried to make Orange Chicken and it was very easy to make, so tasty. When we bought our slow cooker about a year ago, I have made a lot of different Asian inspired dishes. I found a few different recipes for General Tso's in the slow cooker, but they either had too many ingredients or the reviews were poor.As usual, I took from a few different recipes, combined them, then added a few other steps of my own. I made this my recipe and loved it. It is so easy to make and very tasty. Hopefully, you will like it as much as I did.Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Curry Chicken Slow Cooker Curry Chicken
I have tried so many recipes; from the slow cooker to the regular stovetop. None of them were any good. Either the sauce was too watery, too thick, there was no flavor, etc.As is my MO in life, I decided to do my usual routine and pick & choose from different recipes. My wife and I finally came up with this recipe. We love it and wanted to share it. Hopefully, you will too!Enjoy! -
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
I normally make teriyaki chicken in the oven because I love how the sauce thickens and caramelizes, but it has been far too hot to use the oven this week so this is my version of slow cooker teriyaki chicken based on a variant of my oven recipe.
