Orange Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Chicken image

This is a work in progress. I got a version of this from a friend and adapted it to what I had in the fridge. It's really rich so cutting down the butter or making substitutions would probably work. It's so yummy though, you won't be able to stay away from the left overs! We served this with rice and peas.

Time 5h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 orange, zest of
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
4 garlic cloves, mashed

Steps:

  • Layer chicken thighs on top of onions in slow cooker.
  • Melt butter and mix with remaining ingredients.
  • Pour over chicken and onion and cook on high or low until it's done. It took about 5 hours on high for my slow cooker, which I think runs hot.
  • Note: The original recipe calls for lemon juice and zest and you could totally cut down on the butter. Next time I make this I will probably use a 1/4 cup of butter and then add some chicken stock.
