Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken, cut in 2-inch chunks1/2 cup flour Olive oil, for browning the chicken1 tablespoon orange zest (optional, omit if you like less orange taste)6 ounces 3 tablespoons brown sugar1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar3 tablespoons ketchup
"Use a 4 quart slow cooker for best results. Dredge the chicken pieces with the flour, and shake off the excess. Throw away the remainder of the flour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet and brown the chicken on all sides. There is no need to fully cook it, just sear it enough for the flour to stick and get a nice coating.
Place chicken pieces into slow cooker. In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice (fresh squeezed), orange zest (simply take a cheese grater and grate the side of a ripe orange to remove the peel for zest), brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and ketchup. Salt to taste if you prefer, but not recommended.
Pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, and toss gingerly to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4.
