Recipe Swap ~ Orange Chicken

I don't know about you, but sometimes when I'm craving take-out it's not always pizza (mmmm pizza). I love the orange chicken from my local Chinese take-out place, and bonus points for free delivery. However, I never thought to make it on my own until I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest.
Ingredients

Skinless boneless organic chicken breasts
3/4 cup of Smucker's Sweet Orange Marmalade
3/4 cup of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
2 tbsp. of reduced sodium soy sauce
Stove-top Directions

Cook chicken in a skillet until fully cooked
Cut chicken into smaller bite sized pieces
Mix together BBQ sauce, marmalade, and soy sauce
Pour mixture over chicken and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes
Serve over brown rice

Crockpot Directions

Cook chicken on high for 3 hours
Drain juices from crockpot
Cut chicken into smaller bite sized pieces
Mix together BBQ sauce, marmalade, and soy sauce
Pour mixture over chicken and cook on high for 30 minutes
Serve over brown rice

  18. This looks so delicious, Kate! My husband loves Chinese takeout, but it's too salty for me. I try to make some takeout favorites at home so they are a little healthier and I will definitely have to try this! Thanks so much for sharing!

  25. Um, in every way will I be trying this this fall. YUM! I'm all about orange chicken and I'm too dumb to ever think about the fact that you can replicate with orange marmalade!~ Duh! Thank you!

  26. Oooh what a great combination of sauces - that sounds soooo good! We love orange chicken, and we recently found a Panda Express sauce at the grocery store, and that's actually surprisingly good, too.

  28. It does my heart good to see that Sweet Baby Ray's in this recipe ;) This looks so good; it'd be fabulous over some brown rice I bet!

  31. This looks awesome! We eat a lot of chicken so I need to keep this recipe in mind. I get tired of the same old thing!

  32. This looks so good! I agree, sometimes it's not pizza that you're craving. My go-to is a Beef & Broccoli crockpot recipe. It's so easy and good, and you'd never know that it wasn't take-out.
