Cheater General T'so Chicken



Cheater Chicken Tso



Working and cooking delicious nutritious meals is not as easy as you might think.  Not that nuggets are very nutritious, but we had some leftover from the holidays and I wanted to use them up.  I call this Cheater General T’so’s Chicken.


15-20 breaded chicken nuggets

2 tbsp. dark soy sauce
2 tbsp. dry sherry
¼ cup chicken broth
2-3 tsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
2 tbsp. minced garlic

EXTRAS
½ cup chopped red onions
1½ cup fresh broccoli florets
5-10 red hot dried chili peppers
Oil for frying

Cook nuggets in oven at 400ยบ for 25 minutes or until slightly crunchy.

Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar; set aside.

Add 2 tbsp. oil to electric fry pan; once it is hot, add broccoli and stir fry 1-2 minutes; add red onions and  hot chili peppers and stir fry until aromatic (2-3 minutes).  Add chicken and mix everything well.  Push chicken and veggies up sides of wok creating a well in the center.   Pour in sauce and stir constantly until thickened.  Mix in chicken and veggies and serve immediately with rice.
