General Tso’s Chicken (THM:S, Sugar-Free)

This post might include affiliate links for products that I know and LOVE!

Who else has a slight obsession with Chinese food? I’m raising my hand. Shamelessly, I might add. No greasy take-out food needed when you can whip up my Trim Healthy Mama friendly General Tso’s Chicken from the comfort of your kitchen!

This recipe is a MUCH-needed update on one of the first recipes I ever posted. I got a bit of flack for the semi-unappealing food photo. Okay, in my defense, this was the first actual non-coffee recipe I ever posted to my blog. I hadn’t invested in a nice camera and my phone didn’t take the best photos! I tried, guys. 🙂

Anyways, I updated this recipe not only because it needed a better photo to showcase its deliciousness, but because I wanted to simplify the recipe. This is more of a skillet dinner, which is one of my favorite types of meals. Sautee some chicken and onion, remove from pan. Make a sauce, let it simmer. Toss chicken and onion in sauce and voila! Done. A fun, easy dinner without a lot of effort. Don’t let the special ingredient gluccie scare you away. It is literally unnoticeable in this sauce! I used the Trim Healthy Mama brand and was so impressed with the texture.

I like to serve this dish over cauli-rice or my Sesame Noodles. I’ve been known to add some frozen broccoli to the stir-fry mix. It adds bulk without changing the fuel and it soaks up the sauce beautifully. If your kids need a Crossover, they can have theirs over some brown rice, like you see in the photos. This recipe serves 6-8 people, the nutritional information is based on 6 servings. 🙂
