 This Skinny Orange Chicken can made in the Instant Pot for a quick and easy weekday meal or in the Slow Cooker for those days when you want dinner ready when you get home. 

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, chicken pieces, and BBQ sauce into the slow cooker or instant pot.

Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

Scoop out 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce mixture from the instant pot or slow cooker and mix with 2 tsp of cornstarch and pace in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until the cornstarch has been completely incorporated. (This will help prevent lumps from the cornstarch and will help thicken the sauce.)

Add the orange marmalade.

Cook for an additional 30-45 minutes on low. 

Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. The sauce will begin to thicken as it sits.

Serve with white/brown rice or cauliflower rice and your favorite veggie.
