Directions
Cheap & Easy General Tso’s Chicken, This is perfect for those nights you need a quick dinner or when you have the desire for yummy chinese (minus the grease!) I serve this over a bed of basmati rice and steamed broccoli. So far everyone who has eaten this meal has told me that I MUST blog it so ta-da! I hope you and your family enjoy as much as me and mine do. For more yummy recipes be sure to check out my blog: The coating for the chicken was really good. I could see making chicken nuggets with this coating. I’m only giving this a 4 star rating because the General Tso’s sauce came from a premix package(which was very good BTW) instead of home made. Made for Pick a Chef Preemie book 4.
