Notes
Linda
This was very easy and very good. All day as it cooked, it smelled more like barbecue chicken, not orange chicken. As I took my first bite--it was very orangey indeed!! The guys in the house loved it--I thought it was a little sweet, but that is just me probably. I started with frozen chicken breasts, and this was done easily in 5 hours on low. We served it with rice and sauteed vegetables.

I added six large dashes of Worcestershire sauce, three cloves of garlic, and four tsp ginger. I shredded my chicken, and left the lid off for the last 45 minutes of cooking. I served it as a rice bowl, with rice, then stir fry veggies, and the meat on top. My husband says it tastes sort of like orange chicken, minus the deep-fried part. My three-year-old and one-year-old approved of this meal!

This recipe is tough to review, and I think I would have liked it more if it had a different name. It's nothing like the orange chicken the kids love to get when we get Chinese food, but the flavor is decent and both my son and my husband had seconds. My daughter pretty much only ate the rice, and I liked it much more after I remembered to add green onions and sesame seeds. The green onion really added a nice touch.
