Slow Cooker Orange Chicken

1 1/2 lb. boneless chicken breasts, chopped into large bite-sized chunks
1/3 cup flour olive oil
1/2 Tbl. salt
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 Tbl. ketchup
4 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (put in mixing bowl first, and let thaw as you add other ingredients)
4 Tbl. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ginger
1 tsp red pepper flakes

In a bowl, combine and mix the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, ketchup, ginger and red pepper flakes. Pour the flour in a small bowl. Cover the chicken breast chunks in flour and shake off the excess.
Cooking Directions: Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the flour-covered chicken. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked since it's going in the crock pot. After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the crock pot. Then cover the chicken with your sauce mixture and give the pot a stir. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3. Serve over rice and even add veggies if you want a healthier meal.
