General Tso’s Chicken and Rice Bowls
This is my all time favorite dish to order takeout! This version is only 3 points vs up to 20 points at a restaurant! I went non-breaded because I prefer it for my meal prep. You can go for breaded using a combo of cornstarch and flour or crushed corn flakes. This sauce is so delicious that you won’t even miss the breading!
I topped this with white sesame seeds, additional chili pepper flakes and green onions. If you are not a fan of spicy, you can leave out the pepper flakes. The sauce will still be DELISH!

This skinny version of General Tso's Chicken is AMAZING! I love the takeout version of breaded crispy chicken but the points and calories are high. This dish is ONLY 3 points for the chicken!
