This stuff is AH-MAZ-ING.


General Tso’s Chicken
Yields 2 servings

• Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 t hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2c flour
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (I used vegetable oil)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 6 green onions, chopped, plus more for serving
• 1/2t grated fresh ginger
• 1/2t minced garlic 
• 1c broccoli florets
• 1/2c snow peas
• Crushed red-pepper flakes, optional
• Sesame seeds, optional
• Cooked rice, for serving

Directions: (oh ftw, I MOSTLY eyeballed all this stuff. I tried to guess at how much I put in but it won't hurt if you just eyeball it.)

1.  I marinated the chicken it really adds to the dish and helps it! I diced the chicken, added 1/4t hoisin sauce, 1T rice wine vinegar, 1T soy sauce, 2 dashes of sesame oil, 1/4t fresh grated ginger, 1/4t minced garlic, and 2T brown sugar. I let that sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Any amount of extra time you have will help the chicken so it doesn't need to be that long but it's better if it's marinated that long!
2. So then I drain the chicken from the juices and coat the chicken with the flour and cornstarch.
3. I heat up 2T veg oil in a nonstick pan and cook until the chicken is done. Remove from pan.
4. Add 2T veg oil. Saute the scallions and ginger and rest of garlic. Add the broccoli and peas and whatever veggies you want and the crushed red pepper flakes.
5. Add (eyeball) hoisin, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar.
6. Add the chicken and toss to coat.

Serve with rice!
This isn't very saucy so if you wanted more sauce you can mix the sauce ingredients with 1/2c of water and some cornstarch and then you'll have to let it cook to thicken.

Without counting the marinating time, this took like 15min because I had all the veggies pre-chopped and in the freezer so I just threw them in the pan.

It was so good even Bradley liked it!! :D
You could easily change this up and instead of using the crushed red pepper flakes you can use orange juice and zest to make orange chicken! :)
