Today is Group B's reveal for The Secret Recipe Club. My assignment blog is Debbi Does Dinner. Debbi's approach to cooking is preparing healthy and satisfying meals that are generally under 500 calories.
Her recipe for General Tso's Chicken jumped out at me, so I knew right away that's what I'd be making.
I used some leftover broccoli from dinner one night and added a sliced sweet cherry pepper for some color. The chicken was tender and delicious and the sauce is amazing - one I'd like to try with shrimp.
Thanks, Debbi, for a great recipe! Take a look at the blog hop to see lots of other delicious recipes!
This is my favrouite..usually ended up eating more than I should have.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think I can smell the delicious aroma of this dish emanating from my computer screen! It's one of my favorites and looks a lot healthier than what we get at the local Chinese takeout.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
My sons both love General Tso's chicken that we get from a local restaurant. I'll have to give this recipe a try and see how it compares for them. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great dish. However, I've always wondered: who is General Tso, and why is it his chicken?
ReplyDeleteLooks good and any slimmed down version of General Tso's is a win!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I love General Tso's chicken (and tofu!)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe jumped out at me too, looks delicious and healthy.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, I'd love for you to check out my group "A" SRC entry: Candied Popcorn.

OH YUM! I love homemade take out - yours looks absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully recreated. it looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the general Tso flavor. Great to have a recipe for it.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Group D! Loving that this is under 500 calories. Great photos too!
ReplyDeleteLooks really delicious. Have saved it to try out later!
ReplyDeleteTake-out at home? Sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteMan I love General Tso's chicken, probably my fav take-out order. But why take out when you can healthy at home!!!
ReplyDeleteYum, we love going to our local chinese restaurants, but who needs to with recipes like this! Can't wait to try it Karen. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that dish, often get it from our local take-out, but my favorite thing about it might be the regional variations in spelling. It's always General Tsau's in our neck of the woods, but I've seen Zau, Tso, Tzau, Cho, Chau, and others :-)
ReplyDeleteI love General Tso's chicken...this looks so good. Beautiful photos, Karen.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite Chinese dishes that I have never made at home. And it's even better when it isn't loaded with unnecessary calories. Great SRC recipe choice!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good---I know Debbi has a lot of great recipes. I love the dish but have never made it, so this is a must try!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'll look forward to giving this a try in our new kitchen in a couple weeks! One of our favorite meals, thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. Much better than General Tso-Tso's chicken, which is what our local mediocre Chinese place makes.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Tso's chicken has been on my list of things to make for years. Really nice photos Karen. I look forward to giving this a try.
ReplyDeletewow, that looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour plate of food looks so good!
ReplyDeleteKaren, this chicken dish looks fabulous...I love it!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your week :)
Hi Karen.. Thanks for posting this recipe.. it's just awesome! I made it twice so far.. once with chicken and last night with grilled pork kebobs. First time as directed.. with the pork I omitted the cornstarch and just used it to baste the grilled & skewered pork.. yumma!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous dish Karen! Great pick for the Secret Recipe Club. I love fresh yummy dishes like this! Hope your week is off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteI have seen this dish on every menu at Chinese restaurants but have never had it. Your photo sure makes it look as good as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteThis is always my go to dish when I order Chinese food. But probably so much better to make it at home. Yours looks so good, fresh and coloful!
ReplyDeletei like chicken! and vegetables to! They are so great together! greetings from my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI order this all the time but I dig the idea of making it at home. Gonna have to try. Great SRC choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious chicken recipe,Karen!What a fun group SRC....All the other recipes look really good!
