Crockpot Orange Chicken This is a recipe I found on Facebook…

Ingredients:
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced about 1/2-inch thick
2 large red or green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 ounces orange juice
2 cups Mandarin orange segments or fresh orange segments
2 Green onions, chopped

Directions:
Put carrots, peppers, garlic, then the chicken, ginger, salt, pepper & frozen orange juice in Crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW 4 to 6 hours. Serve chicken on hot cooked rice.  Top with orange segments and green onions. Serve chicken liquid in gravy boat, if desired.

My Notes:  You can thicken the liquid with Cannolini bean flour (recipe found on this site), if desired. This will not add many carbohydrates and thicken the gravy nicely…   Serve with Brown Rice or Quinoa. Also you can use crushed or cut-up crystallized ginger instead of ground ginger, for more flavor..
