Slow-Cooked Oriental Chicken
SUBMITTED BY:
Ruth Seitz
"Extremely tender chicken is smothered in a flavorful, dark gravy in this easy and elegant entree. It's so nice to find another tantalizing way to serve chicken. Sprinkled with almonds, this is a dish I proudly serve to family or guests. -Ruth Seitz, Columbus Junction, Iowa"

Super good & super simple! I knew from scanning the ingredients that I would have to make extra sauce so adapted the measurements accordingly: 1/3 C. brown sugar plus another "handful," 1/3 C. plus 2 T. soy sauce, 2/3 C. water, 3 large cloves garlic minced & a good heaping tablespoon of jarred ginger paste (we like it flavorful at our table). Plus, since we like it so much, a good four or five splashes of nuoc mam (Vietnamese fish sauce) to give the sauce body and depth. To add extra flavor to this dish, mix the marinade in a non-reactive bowl and then use the marinade to deglaze the skillet after you've browned the chicken, scraping up all the browned chicken bits from the pan & incorporating in the marinade. Then pour the sauce over the chicken & cook as directed. Close to serving I steamed broccoli & baby carrots, then mixed with the chicken & served over jasmine rice. Heavenly, scrumptuous, a new "classic" in our house!

I was so in the mood for something Chinese and with a few modifications this was good. I used chicken thighs (skinless, bone in) I added some sesame oil to the sauce. Then to thicken it during the last 30 min of cooking I added the juice from a can of pineapple chunks mixed with some cornstarch. I added the pineapple too. This made a nice flavorful sauce to go over the brown rice I served it with. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was very tasty! I used 3 chicken breasts, instead of a whole chicken. I also had to triple the sauce. It is a little salty, so make sure you use the low sodium soy sauce or up the water a little bit. Overall a great dish!!

This recipe was GREAT! I used chicken breast and made extra sauce since I was mixing in broccoli and serving over rice. OUTSTANDING!

This was a really good recipe. I followed others advice and added chopped pineapple and thickened the sauce with the pineapple juice and corn starch. Next time I think I'll just use chicken thighs and legs because I thought the chicken breasts ( I used a whole cut up chicken) were a little overcooked. Will make this one again! Thanks!

With adaptations I gave it five stars... When mixing the sauce I eliminated the water, added the juice from a large can of pineapple tidbits, doubled the brown sugar, increased the garlic and added 1.5 T. of Minute Tapioca as a thickener. I stirred in the pineapple tidbits at the very end just to heat them. Without the pineapple and its liquid there wouldn't have been enough flavor or sauce for the rice. YUM! It's a keeper.

I tried this because of reviews and it was quite good. I like a little spice however and added one seeded and chopped jalapeno to it.

Yummy! My very picky husband loved it, which is shocking. I used my personal rule of three: if it calls for one clove of garlic add 3 and I used splenda brown sugar. It is pretty salty so don't try it if you have high blood pressure! Also, a good dose of sauce is needed for a more flavorful bite.

I thought this was ok, but I needed to add extra things for more flavor. I used more brown sugar than required w/some chopped candied orange peel and a dash of lemon juice.
