Vejledning

Add all pf the general tso’s sauce ingredients to a small pot and mix. Bring it to a low boil and continue mixing until the sauce thickens. Should take 3-5 minutes. Once done, set aside.

Trim the chicken thighs to your liking then cut them into bite sized cubes.

Place the chicken into a large bowl. Drizzle in some avocado oil and season generously with salt, pepper, onion powder & garlic powder. Mix till well combined.

Get a large skillet going over medium-high heat and spray with cooking oil. Add in the chicken and let cook for 10-15 minutes mixing every few minutes until the chicken is crispy and cooked all the way through (largest piece should reach ~175°F internal)

Once the chicken is about done, lower the heat and add in the steamed broccoli along with some of the general tso’s sauce. Let cook and continue mixing until the sauce thickens.

Plate it up & ENJOY! 🙌🏻
