ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons szechwan chili sauce
- 2 1⁄3 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 4 1⁄2 tablespoons sugar substitute (like Splenda)
- 4 1⁄2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1⁄2 cup chicken stock
- 1⁄4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)
directions
- Grill the chicken breasts until they are fully cooked.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, prepare the sauce mixture by combining the 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch with the wine, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, chili sauce, and broth.
- Heat the sesame oil in the wok or frying pan and add the sauce-mixture to the wok, tossing over the heat until the sauce caramelizes into a glaze (1-2 minutes).
- Cut chicken into bite size pieces, add it to the sauce and toss to coat.
- If you like the crunch often found in traditional General Tso's; sprinkle the Panko over top right before serving.
- Serve immediately.
- Serves 6, along with steamed broccoli and rice. We have doubled the sauce and added the cooked broccoli and that works great too!

Wow! Very easy, and very tasty. Only used 1/2 the chili sauce, and still had plenty of flavor. Also used ordinary sugar and sherry. This will be a regular weeknight favorite in our house. Updated to add: Used this sauce on some leftover grilled chicken - terrific way to "recycle". Thanks for sharing!

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
