Crock pot orange chicken

Hello!

One of the hardest things to do in my life is finding time to cook a healthy meal. Working a full time job, volunteering and making time for family and friends makes looking after my health difficult. One thing that has been helpful in the past is making meals, freezing them and pulling them out when I need them. 

This orange chicken recipe can be used two ways. 

1. You can cut up the ingredients and put them together in a zip lock bag. You can pop it in the freezer and stick it in the crock pot when your ready to eat it.

2. You can put it straight into the crock pot have a delicious meal within 4-6 hours (depending on your crockpot) 

What you will need is 

 

2-3                    Chicken Breasts

2                       Green peppers

1                       Zucchini 

2                       Medium size carrots

1 1/2 cups        Orange juice from      

                         concentrate 

4                       Cloves of garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Start by cut up all your ingredients 

If you are planning to cook it right away, you will want to put all the ingredients into your crockpot. Next add in the orange juice 

Mix everything together and set the crock pot to medium-high for 4-6 hours. 

If you are preparing meal for later in the week, you can put the contents into a ziplock bag and pop it in the freezer. 

Once cooked you can put it on a bed of pasta, vermicelli noodles, rice or quinoa. I used a quinoa and wild rice mix I purchased at Costco and split the package into two servings.
