Orange chicken typically consists of chicken that is breaded, deep fried, and tossed in a sugar-laden orange sauce.Delicious but not exactly healthy! Like my Healthy Orange Chicken and classic Orange Chicken recipes, this slow cooker orange chicken is a healthier, lightened-up version that still has the sweet, citrusy flavor you love.
Almost every other recipe I’ve read for an easy version of homemade orange chicken calls for copious amounts of orange marmalade.Instead, this recipe uses real orange juice.The chicken is cooked in the slow cooker, no breading and no deep frying needed! Thanks to the slow cooker, this recipe requires very little hands-on cooking.
Along with this recipe, I love turning to other Asian-inspired dishes like Crock Pot Cashew Chicken, Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken, and Pineapple Chicken for a delicious meal that requires less time in the kitchen! 5 Star Review“T
