Orange chicken

Today was hard. My golden retriever was extremely tired and couldn't understand that he's not a lap dog. Also, if I didn't get up my husband wouldn't get fed and then I'd be forced to watch him play Skyrim to get back at me....and cooking is way more exciting than Skyrim, though I assume most things are.

                                    Including sleeping with all your feet by your face


I really wanted orange chicken and 1. I am far too poor to go out and get some and 2. I wanted some that wouldn't kill my arteries so it was crock pot time.
Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless chicken, cut in 2-inch chunks ( I forgot to do this until it was already in the crock pot....worst.)
1/2 cup flour
1 tbsp olive oil, for browning the chicken
1 tablespoon sea salt
6 ounces (1/2 can) frozen OJ concentrate, thawed (I hate pulp so that was a definite no,)
3 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons ketchup (sounds weird I know)



Combine chicken with flour in a bowl and then cook it on the stove. You don't have to cook it for very long, just make sure it's nicely browned. 


While this is cooking combine olive oil, salt, OJ, brown sugar, vinegar and ketchup in a bowl. Taste. Taste again just to really make sure how good it is. When satisfied, put everything in crock pot and stir to make sure all the chicken is covered. 


Use a 4qt crock pot. Cook for 6 hours on low. 

Not as weird as it looks

Verdit:

Great hit with the husband. I thought it was good but would have been better over rice. Next challenge.
