Healthier General Tso's Chicken Recipe

 

If there's one thing you can do for your health, it's focusing on making more homemade meals! Plus, when you order less take-out, you're also doing good for your wallet. If that's not a win-win, we don't know what is! On the contrary, who wants to miss out on delicious restaurant meals?! Well, you don't have to, because we are re-creating all of your take-out favorites - starting with this General Tso's Chicken recipe! 

Ingredients:

Serves 4

  • 1 lb chicken breast

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tbsp corn starch 

Directions: 

  1. Cook rice according to package directions. Note: want to keep this low-carb? Swap the rice for cauliflower rice instead!
