Ingredients

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut- up

1/2 Tbsp salt

4 Tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp balsamic vinegar
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate thawed or put in microwave for 45 seconds

Tips:

Choose the right cut of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. They cook quickly and evenly in the slow cooker.
Make sure the chicken is well coated in sauce: This will help to ensure that the chicken is flavorful and juicy. You can use a whisk or a fork to coat the chicken in the sauce.
Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken can be tough and dry. Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Orange chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include rice, noodles, roasted vegetables, and salad.
