Crockpot Orange Chicken

This is a super easy Saturday afternoon meal.  J loves it!  But what doesn't he love to eat?  Not at all authentic and probably not all that healthy, but it definitely hits the spot!

Crockpot Orange Chicken
Modified from The Pursuit of Happiness

• 1 bag of popcorn chicken
• 1/2 T salt
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 T ketchup or barbecue sauce
• 6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 4 T brown sugar
• garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to taste
• broccoli

In your crockpot, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, ketchup, and spices.  Heat to a simmer on high (about an hour).  If you don't mind soggy chicken, toss in the whole bag of frozen chicken and cook on high for 45 min or low for 1.5-2 hr.  If you'd like the chicken to be crispier, cook accordingly to the manufacturer's instructions and toss in the crockpot 15 minutes before serving.  Add the broccoli to the sauce about 30 minutes before serving.  Serve over rice or quinoa. 

I apologise for the vague nature of this recipe.  I don't usually measure the spices or pay attention to the time each step takes in the crockpot.  The times above are merely estimates.  I just kind of eyeball it.
