- 3-4 Chicken breasts (cubed) – you will notice in my pictures is it more shredded it is because I put my chicken breasts in frozen and whole. So you certainly do not have to cut up the chicken you can shred it too! No matter the shape of the chicken you decide, its delicious either way!
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Orange Marmalade
- 1-2 tsp soy sauce (optional)

I love my Beautiful slow cooker, but it is sold out everywhere so I have one here for you that is also an 8 quart size for those mamas who have a big family like me HERE not to mention, it is digital which is so helpful for a busy household of people coming and going. Set the temp, cook time and leave the rest to the slow cooker. And by the time you get home you will have a warm home cooked meal waiting for you and your family!
Invest in a slow cooker for your family meals, it will make all difference in ditching stress at dinner time!

Lori,
Received my 3 slow cooker cookbooks in mail that I ordered. In my books, the orange chicken recipe on page 23, the length of time to cook on low temp was omitted. Can you confirm how many hours to cook it on low temp? I ordered 3 cookbooks~ 2 of which will be Christmas gifts!
Love this dinner recipe. Serve over rice and you have fantastic dinner
Super easy which I love!!
