General Tso's Chicken - Weight Watchers

I've always been a larger framed gal and I've always had to watch what I eat. I know there's many out there that think I cook and I don't pay attention to the calories and what not, but that's far from the truth. I have always said eat in moderation no matter what it is. But, this recipe I bring you today is one from Weight Watchers; although it don't taste like it. Believe it or not this is one of my kids favorites.

3/4 cup canned reduced-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

2 teaspoons peanut oil

2 medium scallions, chopped

2 medium garlic cloves, minced

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

1 lb uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2 inch pieces

2 cups 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 1 cup of chicken and sauce and 1/2 cup of rice per serving = 4 points.

Happy cooking!
