I had to put something together real fast this week and I wanted to fix a Chinese dish reminiscent of General Tso's chicken, yet different. Here is what I came up with--and it was great!Ingredients:
1.25 lb. boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/4" strips
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/8 tsp. dried, crushed red pepper (or more, to taste)
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
4 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 (14.5 oz.) can chicken broth
1/2 cup cold water
3 tbsp. corn starch
6 to 8 servings prepared white rice
Instructions:
Prepare the white rice. Preheat a wok or large skillet and add the olive oil. Add the chicken and the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, white pepper, and dried, crushed red pepper. Cook the meat, turning often. When meat is close to being thoroughly cooked, add the celery, green and red bell peppers, and onion, turning often. When the celery, peppers, and onions are tender, add the brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Stir often. Add corn starch to the cold water, stir, and add to the meat and vegetables, stirring often. Serve on plate next to the white rice. Serves 6 to 8.
