Sunday Edition

When we got put into the new ward, we were blessed with a new church time...2pm. Oh yeah, don't be jealous. So coming home at 5pm, everyone is hungry and tired, so I am using my crockpot every Sunday. When I make something that is good, I decided to share it, so here you go.

Low-Fat Glazed Chicken in Crockpot
From the Kitchen of: Paz
Source: Jo Anne Merrill

6 oz. orange juice, frozen concentrate - thawed
3 skinless boneless chicken breast halved - split
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash garlic powder

1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. cornstarch

*Garlic is optional. (I put it in)

Combine thawed orange juice concentrate (not regular orange juice) in bowl along with the marjoram, garlic powder and nutmeg. Split the chicken breasts to make 6 serving sizes. Dip each piece into the orange juice to coat completely. Place in Crockery Pot. Pour the remaining orange juice mixture over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or cook on high for 4 hours if you wish. Precise cooking time is not important in crockpot cooking.
When chicken is done, remove to serving platter. Pour the sauce that remains in crockpot into a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and water and stir into the juice in pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Serve the sauce over the chicken.

I made with rice and green beans. It was quite "orange-y", but I liked it with the sauce. Maybe because it is different and easy. Sorry no picture. It looks like chicken with orange stuff on it.

  1. Most of my kids didn't like it. IT is pretty strong from the oj. I just thought it was something different.
