Debate-able Crockpot Orange Chicken

I was all excited to try this, thinking it would be similar to the Orange Chicken that you get at Panda Express, but I was wrong.  It has a very orange-y taste that I was not a fan of.  I think that is mostly due to the use of the orange juice concentrate.  My husband said he really liked it though and is taking the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, so it couldn't have been that bad :)  If you're not expecting the standard orange chicken from a Chinese restaurant, then you should try this for a bit of a twist. I served it with brown rice and veggies.

Ingredients:

• boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks (I used about 4)
• 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

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.
