My Favorite Weight Watchers Recipe

This is probably my favorite meal to make and eat....It's tasty....It's easy.....It's spice-a-li-cious! And I have leftovers of it for lunch today!! mmmmmmmm

I got this recipe off the Weight Watchers website a couple of years ago. I make it a couple of times a month, it's so good. Of course, I do put in more red pepper than the recipe calls for, sometimes, too much....but food is always better if it's so hot it makes you cry!

General Tso's Chicken

3/4 cup canned chicken broth, reduced-sodium

2 Tbsp cornstarch

2 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

1/2 tsp ground ginger

2 tsp peanut oil

2 medium scallion(s), chopped

2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or 1 dried chili pepper, minced

1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast(s), cut into 2-inch pieces

2 cup cooked white rice, kept hot

In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger; set aside. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Add reserved sauce and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce over rice. Yields about 1 cup of chicken and sauce and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.

I do make a couple of modifications other than the spice - I like to add some vegies - my favorite is Bird's Eye frozen stir-fry vegies. But add whatever I have on hand. This batch was just mushrooms, peppers and onions.
