Crock pots are the ticket to a super easy and hardy meal. In this episode of Cheap n' Easy we're making an amazing orange chicken with vegetables and peanut sauce that will have you loving your crock pot again.
I did not like this recipe at all- chicken was good but the vegetables had no flavor and were mushy

This is the absolute worst recipe I have ever tried. In fact, this is the first time I\'ve ever made something that I couldn\'t eat myself. I\'m not a picky eater either. Just the smell of the peanutbutter/soysauce mixture made me nauseated all day. I wanted to stick my crock pot in the garage and let it cook outside so I didn\'t have to smell it. It tasted as bad as it smelled.

Easy to throw together but the end result ended up going down the garbage disposal - godness gracious - it was aweful!

As another review had said, the veggies were mushy and had no flavor, and the citrus/orange flavor just didn\'t work well with the peanut butter/soy sauce. I added some minced garlic to it, and honestly, the dish just looked vile spooned out over rice. I think that using coconut milk rather than orange juice would have been much better (and much more unhealthy!). Veggies are better off cooked seperately and added when served to maintain their flavor and texture.

I agree with the less than ideal mushy vegetables.
Make this recipe great by chopping 2 cups worth of fresh vegetables in to strips (similar to how you cut the chicken).
Saute the vegetables in peanut oil just prior to serving.
Highly recommend serving over rice, so simply prepare the vegetables while the rice is cooking.
Adds another 15 minutes to the prep time.
Vegetables suggested:
1/4 cup water chestnuts
1 cup mixed peppers (red, yellow, orange)
1/4 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup snow peas
