Easy General Tsos Chicken

    I made this last night for me and my family. It was so good! Followed the recipe pretty much, but winged it on amounts because I wanted lots of extra sauce, and it was still delish. My only wish is that I didn't cook the chicken all the way through before adding the sauce, as it was a tad bit over cooked, but EVERYONE went back for seconds. Next time adding veggies. Served with Jasmine rice and it was really tasty. Thanks!

    Easy General Tso’s Chicken, We LOVE Chinese food and General Tso’s has long been a favorite. However the high fat content of the regular version in a restaurant isn’t always a great option. This is a moderately spicy version of the recipe. Reduce the ginger, garlic, scallions or red pepper flakes as your tastes desire. You can also substitute higher calorie options, such as regular sugar for the Splenda, or vegetable oil instead of Pam cooking spray., I made this last night for me and my family. It was so good! Followed the recipe pretty much, but winged it on amounts because I wanted lots of extra sauce, and it was still delish. My only wish is that I didn’t cook the chicken all the way through before adding the sauce, as it was a tad bit over cooked, but EVERYONE went back for seconds. Next time adding veggies. Served with Jasmine rice and it was really tasty. Thanks!, As suggested by the other reviewers, I cut back on the red peppers to 1/2 tsp, doubled the sauce, added a bag of frozen broccoli and it was really very good! This recipe is a keeper!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Whisk Together Broth, Splenda (or Sugar), Soy Sauce, Vinegar and Ginger. Set Aside. Wait Until Just Before Pouring Over the Meal to Add in the Cornstarch. (otherwise It Gets Gloopy and Slugdy.).

    2
    Done

    Spray a Wok or Non-Stick Skillet Liberally With Pam (or Drizzle in Some Vegetable Oil to Coat the Bottom). Add Scallions, Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes. Cook For 2-3 Minutes.

    3
    Done

    Add Chicken and Brown. Use More Spray (or Oil) If Necessary to Assist With the Browning. Cook About 5-8 Minutes. the Chicken Should Be Almost Done Before You Add the Sauce.

    4
    Done

    Add Cornstarch to Your Sauce Bowl (put Together in Step One) and Whisk to Create a Slurry. Add to Your Chicken in the Pan and Heat Until Boiling, Then Reduce to a Simmer. the Boiling of the Sauce Will Cause the Cornstarch to Thicken. Soon It Will Be as Thick as the General Tso's Sauce You're Used To!

    5
    Done

    Serve Over Rice.
