Recipe

Marinade
2 T. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 C. chicken stock
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 C. tomato paste
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. packed brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 dash of ground allspice


The night before mix together the marinade ingredients in a large, closable container large enough to also hold the chicken pieces. When marinade is thoroughly mixed, add the chicken, close container and refrigerate until morning.

In the morning place the chicken in the crockpot and add marinade up to about an inch from the top of the container.

4 lb. chicken (breasts and thighs)
1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced
2 T. butter or margarine
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 green bell pepper, cut lengthwise
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
3 T. cornstarch
1/4 C. milk
1/4 C. water

Set the crockpot on LOW; cover, and let cook for 6 to 8 hours.

Set the crockpot to HIGH.

About an hour later, saut� the sliced mushrooms in the butter or margarine. Add the mushrooms (with pan juices), mandarin sections, green pepper and ginger into the crockpot and stir thoroughly.

Mix together the cornstarch, milk and cold water, then gradually add into the crockpot while stirring until the entire mixture thickens a bit. Cover the crockpot and let simmer for 15 to 30 minutes until serving.
