CROCK-POT MEXICAN ORANGE CHICKEN (POLLO CON NARANJA)

Crock-Pot Mexican Orange Chicken (Pollo Con Naranja) image

My husband had open-heart surgery when we were living on the Texas-Mexican border in 2001. The wife of his heart-surgeon, Velda de La Garza, wrote a heart-healthy Mexican cookbook (Healthy Mexican Cooking), which we purchased while he was in the hospital. This dish is one of our favorites -- an easy Mexican take on that old favorite, Orange Chicken. We found it needed a little more spice than called for; you could either up the cayenne or leave the jalapeno seeds in. But then we like spicy food!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon water
5 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fill a baking dish half way with hot water for the water bath.
Heat sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat; constantly swirl the sugar mixture in the pan until sugar dissolves and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, as sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into a shallow baking dish and gently tilt dish to coat the bottom with caramel.
Mix egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, orange juice, and orange zest in a large oven-safe bowl; gently pour custard over caramel in baking dish. Cover the flan with foil to prevent a skin forming on top, if you like.
Set bowl into the water bath and bake in the preheated oven until until flan has set but still jiggles slightly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow flan to cool to room temperature, then remove foil, and place flan in the fridge to chill, about 2 hours.
Run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen from dish; turn flan onto a rimmed serving plate to release custard and let caramel sauce flow over the flan.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh oranges. The zest and juice of fresh oranges will give your dish a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled or store-bought orange juice.
If you don't have cornstarch, you can use flour as a thickener. However, cornstarch will give your sauce a glossier, more velvety texture.
To make a gluten-free version of this dish, use gluten-free soy sauce and tamari.
If you like a sweeter sauce, add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to taste.
Serve this dish over rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This Filetes de Pollo ala Naranja (Chicken with Orange) is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the orange sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
