I enjoy trying out new recipes!  The ones that are easy to prep, include ingredients that are already in the kitchen, simple to cook, and receive a big thumbs up from our family are always my favorite!  One of the recent ones we tried was adapted from New Leaf Wellness’ Orange Ginger Chicken Recipe.  The girls and I loved it!  Jake liked it too, but he isn’t as big on the sweet main dish recipes.  This is a great recipe for the crockpot which means you could easily make one for dinner that night and freeze one for a later meal.

Orange Crockpot Chicken Recipe:

• 1 pound Chicken, cubed
• ½ cup Orange Juice (with pulp)
• ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes

Place all the ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low for 3 to 6 hours or until chicken is cooked through.  Serve over rice.  Compliment with orange slices!

For a healthier version you can cook the chicken for an hour and drain the excess chicken juices than add the rest of the ingredients and cook for the remaining time.  Also, tastes great with brown rice!
