Sticky Chinese Chicken or Tofu

Crispy chicken in a quick and easy dish that can be served over rice or noodles. From Family Circle magazine. I add extra firm tofu, cubed, in place of half the chicken, or all the chicken, which makes it vegetarian. It's delicious that way!

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  cup  finely crushed onion and garlic croutons
• 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
• 2  tablespoons light soy sauce
• 2  lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1 inch pieces
• 1⁄4 cup canola oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk crouton crumbs with cornstarch. Stir in soy sauce. Add chicken and toss until completely coated.
2. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, covered for 20 - 25 minutes or until nice and crispy and cooked through. Turn about 4 or 5 times to avoid burning.
