Slow Cooker Orange Chicken Recipe

As a busy mom, I often find myself struggling to get dinner together at the end of the day. There are times that I am so busy with blogging work, or cleaning the house that by the time 6 pm rolls around, I haven’t even started thinking about what I am going to make! I’ve been a fan of using my Crock Pot – or slow cooker, as some call it – for many years and I am trying to get back into using it more regularly. You can throw this Slow Cooker Orange Chicken Recipe together in a few minutes in the morning before you leave for work, or if you work from home, before you start your day!

It’s so nice not to face that frantic I have to make dinner! moment when you realize that everyone is starving and you haven’t even begun to think about dinner. We do order Chinese or Pizza about once a week, and that’s our little treat and my break from cooking. But I hate resorting to picking up fast food and try to avoid it all all costs. Using a slow cooker takes the guess work out of dinner time and slow cooker meals are usually pretty inexpensive too!

    Dinner always feels like a mad rush in our house. I have wanted to prepare freezer meals for my slow cooker, but have yet to do that, too. This looks delicious. I’ve pinned it so we can try it out.

    We use our Crock Pot but not nearly as often as we should. It makes things so much easier!
