Crock Pot Orange Chicken

I made this last week but things got a little busy and so I didnt get time to post it.
My husband and I love Chinese food. Our favorite Chinese place stopped delivery to where we live and it's been a challenge to find a place that tastes as good as their food. So I thought I would try to make some myself.

Ingredients:
 boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks (I used about 3)
 1/3 cup flour
 olive oil
 1/2 Tbl. salt
 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
 3 Tbl. ketchup
 6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (thaw or throw it in the microwave for 45 seconds)
 4 Tbl. brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:
In a bowl, mix the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and ketchup.

Pour the flour in a small bowl. Cover the chicken breast chunks in flour and shake off the excess.

Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the flour-covered chicken.
The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked since it's going in the crock pot.


After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the crock pot. Then cover the chicken with your sauce mixture and give the pot a stir.


Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3.

Serve over rice and even add veggies if you want a healthier meal.
