• • 1 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate

  • 2 cups chicken stock*

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ cup tomato paste

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • ½ green bell pepper, medium-large, sliced lengthwise

  • ¼ teaspoon ginger, ground

  • 3 tablespoons cornstartch

  • ¼ cup milk, cold

Marinade: The night before you plan on slow cooking your dinner, 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 crock pot and add marinade up to about an inch from the top of the container. Set the cooker on low an cover.

6 to 8 hours later, turn the cooker to high. About an hour later, sauté the sliced mushrooms in (with pan juices), mandarin sections, green pepper and ginger into the crock-pot and stir thoroughly. Mix together the cornstarch, milk and cold water, then gradually add into the crock-pot while stirring until the entire mixture thickens a bit.

Re-cover the crock-pot and let simmer for 15 to 30 minutes until serving.
