Crockpot Easy Skinny Orange Chicken
Crockpot Easy Skinny Orange Chicken
Orange chicken is one of my absolute favorite Chinese dishes to eat. One day, the idea to make it in a healthier way hit me like a ton of bricks when I was in the grocery store and saw sugar free orange marmalade. I make this recipe via crockpot. It is simple, and I really like the taste.
- 1 pound of fresh chicken breast
- 1 cup of Walden Farms (calorie free) BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup honey BBQ sauce
- 1 cup sugar free orange marmalade
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- Couple dashes of ginger seasoning
What you do:
- Cut chicken into small pieces
- Place in crockpot and add all other ingredients
- Stir to thoroughly combine
OR
- Place ingredients in a tupperware container
- Stir to throughly combine
- Let marinate over night
- When ready to cook, place all ingredients in crockpot on high for 3-5 hours depending up on size and quantity.
- Serve over a bed of brown rice or lo mein!
Super easy and super delicious. Its something different, too!

Cranbery Orange Pecan and White Chocolate Mini Loaves
Cranbery Orange Pecan and White Chocolate Mini Loaves
Its almost Christmas and I have one final Christmas recipe to share with you. Ive baked a few other things but I may save them for next year! Its been a really busy month and Ive not had a chance to bake as many homemade gifts as Id like. I wanted something relatively quick and easy yet stunning. Im not a huge fan of fruit cake so I decided to make this very festive cake using cranberries and orange. I added in some pecan and white chocolate for indulgence and a spoonful of marmalade in the middle. I made an orange glaze to go on top of the cakes and decorated it with a lightly toasted pecan nut. The cake was incredibly moist and orange was the predominant flavour. You can clearly taste the other ingredients when you got a bite of it particularly the marmalade centre. I think Ill have to bake this again after Christmas just because its so tasty!
Im sending this to AlphaBakes hosted by Caroline from Caroline Makes and myself on alternate months. The letter this month is X and Caroline is accepting everything Christmas related.
marmalade, dried cranberries, oranges, pecan nuts, white chocolate chips
