GENERAL TSO CHICKEN SLOW COOKER RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons cornstarch and egg white. Toss to combine and set aside while you chop the vegetables.
• Mince the garlic and ginger and chop the scallions. Separate the scallion whites from the greens and set aside greens for garnish.
• Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, ginger, garlic and scallion whites. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sriracha, and hoisin and whisk to combine. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch and whisk sauce until starting to thicken, about 2 minutes. Once thickened, turn heat to low and keep warm while you make the chicken.
• Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches to prevent sticking, add 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil then half of the chicken pieces. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until browned on the edges. Flip chicken and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside on a plate and add the remaining oil and chicken as directed.
• Return the chicken back to the skillet or wok, add the sauce to the skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with extra sriracha, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, add chicken and ¼ cup cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper and shake to coat.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil. Shake off excess cornstarch and add chicken to oil. Cook, in batches, until golden, about 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add garlic and red pepper flakes cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• In a medium bowl, whisk hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice with remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch until combined. Add to skillet and simmer until slightly thickened, 1 minute.
• To sauce, add broccoli and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and stir to coat. Simmer for 1 more minute.
