Crock-Pot Mexican Orange Chicken (Pollo Con Naranja) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
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
Preparation
-
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!
