Method
Step by step

Cut the chicken into 2-inch cubes
- 02
Add cubed chicken to a 3 to 4 Quart Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker

Zest Orange before juicing – scrape orange against a fine grater or zester to remove the outer layer of peel. Reserve for sauce.
- 04
Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl (make sure you mix the 2 T. of cornstarch in with 2 T. of water before adding to sauce mixture – this will prevent lumps)

Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked through. You can stir half-way through, if desired.
