Delicious!!! I will agree - this isn't like the General Tso's you get at a restaurant, and for that I am eternally grateful. "Real" General Tso's is usually gummy, overly sweet, and made with questionable meat. This has INCREDIBLE flavor and won't send you into a diabetic coma or cardiac arrest. The only adjustments I make are to decrease the red pepper to 1/4 tsp (I'm a weenie when it comes to heat - my husband just sprinkles more on his serving), and to serve it over brown rice. We prefer the flavor, and for those on WW - or just trying to eat better - it's better than white. This is in my keeper file and used frequently!

Excellent recipe! I was a bit concerned, having never successfully made Chinese food before, but this was easy. I will cut down the ginger a touch next time, and I added extra garlic. I reduced the amount of chicken a bit, and added broccoli in its place, and I really liked the result.

This is one of the fastest and best recipes for General Tso's Chicken. I added an extra chicken breast, since we needed 5 servings and a little extra garlic but the recipe still makes more than enough sauce. This is my husbands favorite and couldn't believe it was a WW recipe!
