Delicious Easy Slow Cooker Orange Chicken

This is a very simple, aromatic, moist
and delicious meal!

Ingredients:

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 chicken breasts)

1 cup orange marmalade

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos

1 tablespoon minced garlic, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon minced ginger, or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

1 cup Sweet Baby Ray's Hawaiian Barbecue Sauce (or barbecue sauce you prefer)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Method:

Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any fat from the chicken and arrange in the bottom of the slow cooker pot.

Place the marmalade and soy sauce in a small microwavable bowl and heat for one minute. (Or, heat in a small saucepan on top of the stove.) Add the garlic, ginger and cilantro. Stir to mix. Spread on top of the chicken.

Top with the barbecue sauce. Cook on high for 3 hours. Mix the corn starch and the water. Add some of the sauce to the cornstarch mixture and mix well. Add the mixture to the slow cooker and stir to mix in. Continue cooking on high for another hour.

Carefully remove each piece of chicken to a plate or dish. Shred or cut into pieces and then return to the slow cooker pot. Stir to coat all of the chicken with the sauce. Serve over rice. Makes 8 servings.
