Slow Cook Chicken in Orange Sauce

Slow Cook Chicken Orange Sauce (3)

‘One Pot Cooking’ gets in all the flavours into all the ingredients and foods in the pot and results in tasty meals. When cooking the Slow Cook Chicken in Orange Sauce, I asked myself if it was not possible to boil the potato and fry the chicken and other ingredients and serve separately. Yes absolutely it is but I am not sure I will get the same result I did with the one pot version.

Right after the Slow Cook Chicken in Orange Sauce came off the fire my husband was hovering in the kitchen and I could tell it was not that he wanted to give me a helping hand. He believes the kitchen is my constituency and he says he does not like to interfere in my ‘ministry’. I hear this from many men. They don’t want to intrude or interfere simply means “I don’t want to help you but I want the output of that ‘ministry'”.

Anyway hubby wiped out the contents of the plate he was served. I quite appreciate this gesture because that tells me that you reading this post will like it also.

Enjoy this one pot meal filled with all you can ask for in a complete meal.
