One of Nate's favorite recipes when he wants something "different"
What you need:
1 lb of chicken (I use the precut strips at the grocery store...saves time later)
1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
4 T (tablespoons) of ketchup
4 T soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
Stove Top Directions:
1. Place chicken in a large skillet and put over medium high heat. (Sometimes I add 2 T of olive oil to
give the chicken a light toasted coloring
2. Cook for about 4 minutes and turn to other side
3. While cooking, cut chicken into bite size (or smaller) pieces in skillet
4. Add orange juice, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar
5. Continue cooking on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Flavors will blend together and sauce will
thicken.
Crock-pot Directions:
1. Cut chicken into bite size pieces (or leave whole...it will shred easily later)
2. Add orange juice, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar
3. Turn on: high for 4 hours
low for 6-7 hours
4. Cover and forget it.
Serve over rice, with veggies, or just eat it by itself (it's that good!)
Healthy Options:
1. Use a reduce-sodium soy sauce
2. Instead of brown sugar, mix a little flour (2-4 tablespoons) to thicken sauce
3. Add veggies when cooking chicken like peppers, carrots, corn or brocolli
4. Drain chicken of sauce (leave a little extra on it) and use it as protein/ dressing in a spinach salad
