General Tso Chicken

~General Tso Chicken~

Here is a great recipe that tastes great and honestly tastes better than Chinese food from a restaurant. I got the General Tso sauce from Trader Joe's. They sell the sauce in the canned goods isle. It tastes so good! I got the chicken from Whole Foods because they're meat is organic and contains no hormones. I used sushi rice instead of regular rice because it goes better when making this recipe.

(Makes 4 servings)
Here is what you need:
General Tso Sauce
2 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets
broccoli
sushi rice
panko bread crumbs
flour
pepper flakes
egg
vegetable oil

Stage 1:
First cook rice by adding 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sushi rice.
Cook on a medium low temperature, and make sure to put a lid on the pot.
Cook rice for about 15 minutes or until it is done.
Remove the rice from the stove.
Then add 1/2 cup of broccoli to the pot and place the broccoli on top of the rice.
Place the lid back onto the top of the pot and let it sit.
The steam of the rice will cook the broccoli and make it soft.

Stage 2:
Next rinse off all chicken to remove bacteria.
Then cut chicken into small 2 inch bite size pieces.

Take three containers in the first container put flour in it, in the second container put egg in it, and in the third container put panko bread crumbs in it.
Once all chicken is cut, coat each piece of chicken in the flour.
Next coat the chicken in the egg, finally coat each piece of chicken in the panko bread crumbs.

Stage 3: 
Once all chicken is breaded, take a large skillet and add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil.
Heat oil on a medium high temperature for 2 minutes.
Once oil is hot, cook about 5 pieces of chicken at a time.
Cook on the first side for about 1 minute and on the second side for 1 minute.
Cook chicken until it turns a crispy golden brown color.

Stage 4: 
Once all chicken is cooked, take a small mixing bowl and pour 1/4 cup of the general tso sauce.
Then dip each piece of chicken in the sauce until the entire chicken is covered in the sauce.
Once all chicken is coated, place each piece to the side.
Then scoop out the broccoli and rice and put it on a plate, add the chicken on top of the rice, and it is now ready to serve!
