CROCK-POT MEXICAN ORANGE CHICKEN (POLLO CON NARANJA)



Crock-Pot Mexican Orange Chicken (Pollo Con Naranja) image

My husband had open-heart surgery when we were living on the Texas-Mexican border in 2001. The wife of his heart-surgeon, Velda de La Garza, wrote a heart-healthy Mexican cookbook (*Healthy Mexican Cooking*), which we purchased while he was in the hospital. This dish is one of our favorites -- an easy Mexican take on that old favorite, Orange Chicken. We found it needed a little more spice than called for; you could either up the cayenne or leave the jalapeno seeds in. But then we like spicy food!

Time 6h15m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2-2 lbs chicken breasts, skinned (I substituted thighs)
1/2 cup onion, cut in strips
8 small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut in quarters

Steps:

  • Set crock pot to high.
  • Add orange juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, cayenne, jalapeno and salt to blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Place chicken pieces in crock pot and pour orange juice mixture over chicken. Top with onions and potatoes.
  • Cook for 6 hours on high. Internal chicken temperature should reach 160 before serving, and the meat should fall off the bone.
  • Great served over rice!

CHICKEN A LA ORANGE

This chicken recipe is quick, easy, and yummy. The orange juice makes a tangy sauce that my family loves served over rice. Add a salad, and you have a healthy, quick meal. I allow one chicken breast per person.
