Crockpot Orange Chicken Recipe

Why didn’t anyone tell me how easy it was to make Orange Chicken at home??? I made this recipe the other night and I am still amazed at how easy it was, and how delicious it was. Hubby was seriously impressed too!

Who knew you could make a flavorful Asian dish like Orange Chicken with 4 ingredients and a crockpot? This time I made frozen chicken fried rice as a side dish. Next time I’m going to double the sauce and make Chinese noodles. Sounds good right?

I sent a picture of our meal to my sons and their wives and I actually got replies from all 4 of them! Aaron-“Nice! I made Orange Chicken in my Instapot last week.” Summer-“I hate traffic.” Jordan-“Nice!” Savannah-“I need that recipe please.”

Ok, I didn’t say they were all perfect responses. I don’t have an Instapot…yet. Do you? Jordan and Savannah got one for a wedding gift. Aaron got his for Christmas. For now, I just cook in my crockpot like I have for years.
