Last week was another week of trying new recipes from Pinterest. I had randomly gone through and selected several recipes, crafts, and other to dos for the next 6 months. We love Asian foods and I find that many Asian recipes are easy to make and also are great leftover. For my next Pin a Day, I tried this crockpot orange chicken recipe. Like many recipes, this was pretty easy. I, of course, changed a few things as I went. I cooked on low heat. I left the house to run a few errands and I didn't want to overcook my chicken. I also cooked it in chicken broth. I hate cooking chicken to where it dries out. I also probably cooked it 3.5-4 hours on low. When I added the sauce to the chicken, I also started some rice on the stove top. When the rice finished, I popped a bag of steam in bag broccoli in the microwave. Overall the meal was good, it wasn't the best orange chicken I've ever had. I definitely wished the sauce was a little thicker or spicier. It was very easy and made plenty of food for dinner and leftovers. I may try this one again with a few modifications to make it work a little bit better for us.
