This was my supper Sept 4th '23. Thought I do a little review of it.
Slow Cooker Orange Chicken for One
Was so very easy - not a huge amount of ingredients and quick to put together! Plus mine was ready at about 5 hours on slow. (Maybe even earlier but I had not checked.) Try to use the low sugar orange preserves if possible. I did not have and used regular marmalade, so for me it was a tad too sweet but that is my personal preference. Feel that the sauce needed thickening at the end.
Very good, simple, fast recipe! (LOL for a slow cooker!) I especially like that the ingredients are what I generally have on hand. I also like that there is no prepping with breading involved even though that is what you would probably get at your local restaurant. Served over Jasmine rice which I did in my rice cooker. Talk about an easy, no stress, open lid and serve dinner.
Because of the sweetness it will not go on my regular to do list, but I would do it to go along with a meal consisting of more savoury type dishes, such as shrimp rolls, soup, maybe a beef and broccoli dish, that kind of almost a buffet style meal. I think the grands would love it.
Easily doubled, I have the 2 quart size slow cooker and it could have easily fitted 3 thighs. I probably would not increase the other ingredients except for maybe the sliced onion on the bottom. Think that really depends on the size of your "small" onion. I also had a scant 1/4 cup of diced celery that I also tossed in on top of the onion.
All in all I gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating - and that only because sweet is not my thing.
