Orange chicken is one of my absolute favorite Chinese dishes to eat. One day, the idea to make it in a healthier way hit me like a ton of bricks when I was in the grocery store and saw sugar free orange marmalade. I make this recipe via crockpot. It is simple, and I really like the taste.
- 1 pound of fresh chicken breast
- 1 cup of Walden Farm's (calorie free) BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup honey BBQ sauce
- 1 cup sugar free orange marmalade
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- Couple dashes of ginger seasoning
What you do:
- Cut chicken into small pieces
- Place in crockpot and add all other ingredients
- Stir to thoroughly combine
OR
- Place ingredients in a tupperware container
- Stir to throughly combine
- Let marinate over night
- When ready to cook, place all ingredients in crockpot on high for 3-5 hours depending up on size and quantity.
- Serve over a bed of brown rice or lo mein!
Super easy and super delicious. It's something different, too!

I've done the same thing with apple butter, and soy sauce instead of the orange and Worcestershire. Sometimes it's just fun to toss things into the crock pot and see how they come out right? I might have to try it this way next time!
