Low-Fat Glazed Chicken in Crock pot


Low-Fat Glazed Chicken in Crock pot

"This recipe is a cinch to throw together and will be easy for all--Payroll SHE's and SHE's of every persuasion." - Leanne Ely


Serves 6
Preparation Time: 8:00 minutes


·         6 ounces orange juice, frozen concentrate -- thaw


·         3 whole chicken breasts -- split into 6 pieces


·         1/2 teaspoon marjoram


·         Dash ground nutmeg


·         Dash garlic powder (I'd use more than a dash myself!)


·         1/4 cup water


·         salt and pepper to taste


·         2 tablespoons cornstarch


Combine thawed orange juice concentrate (not regular orange juice) in bowl along with the marjoram, garlic powder and nutmeg. Split the chicken breasts to make 6 serving sizes. Dip each piece into the orange juice to coat completely. Place in crock-pot. Pour the remaining orange juice mixture over the chicken.


Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or cook on high for 4 hours if you wish. Precise cooking time is not important in crock-pot cooking.


When chicken is done, remove to serving platter. Pour the sauce that remains in crock-pot into a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and water and stir into the juice in pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Serve the sauce over the chicken.

NOTES : Takes less than 10 minutes to prepare this in the mornings and have it ready when you come home in the evening. For an even healthier variation, use boneless skinless chicken breasts.
