10 minute General Tso’s Chicken

Great dish and comfort food for when it’s cold and you really feel like a hearty meal! Calories can be reduced by cutting the oil you use to cook the chicken. In many chinese restaurants they cook with a lot of oil. That oil contributes to the calories in your food that make you gain weight without you even tasting it!
