Chinese Lemon Chicken


Before I started this blog I made orange chicken and it was yummy. I love citrus flavors so I had to give this one a try as well. I am so glad that I tried it because it was really yummy!!!


I forgot to take a picture of my ingredients but here's what you use:
~ 4 bonesless, skinless chicken breast
~1/2 cup of flour
~ 1 T kosher salt
~ 6 oz. (half of the can) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
~ 3 T brown sugar
~ 1 t balsamic vinegar
~ 3 T ketchup
~ olive oil for browning the chicken

Directions:
~ cut chicken into strips or largish chunks
~ dredge in flour and shake off the excess
~ brown the chicken with a bit of olive oil (you are not cooking the chicken~ just giving it some color and getting the flour to stick to the chicken)
~ place into the crockpot
~ mix the rest of the ingredients in a seperate bowl and pour over the chicken

Cooking times:
~ high for four hours
~ Low for 6-8 hours
(I cooked mine on high)

Verdict:
YUMMY! this chicken is delicious. the flavors of all the ingreidents really come together to make a nice taste. we had no left overs so Brandon will nto take this for lunch tomorrow (he usually has the left overs from the previous night's meal..hahaha). def. will have to remember this receipe after I make all the other slow cooker meals i want to try out!

Menu:
~ chicken
~ rice
~ brocoli
~ salad
