Ingredients

3-4 boneless chicken breasts (cut into cubes)
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
3/4 cup orange marmalade
3 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, marmalade, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a ziplock bag, add the cornstarch and chicken. Shake to coat. Pour vegetable oil into the skillet and brown the sides of the covered chicken. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked since it is going in the crockpot.
After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the crockpot. Then cover the chicken with the sauce mixture and give the pot a stir.
Cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
