Preparation

Step 1

1. Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a rolling pin or flat side of a meat mallet. Thinly slice chicken.

2. Whisk together broth, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, hot chili sauce, sugar, and vinegar.

3. Place broccoli and 2 tablespoons water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; fold back a small edge to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute.

4. Combine chicken and soy sauce in a medium bowl; toss with remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch to coat.

5. Melt buttery spread in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter; keep warm.

6. Bring broth mixture to a boil in skillet over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 minute or until thickened. Add broccoli, and toss to coat. Cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.

Delicious! I used the frozen asian medley vegetables instead of just broccoli and it was outstanding! My hubby loved it!

Very easy to make and pretty darn tasty, too! I didn't have any hot chili sauce on hand, so I substituted sweet chili sauce and a little Tobasco. It worked out perfectly and tasted great!

This isn't the General Tso's Chicken from my local Chinese restaurant, but it was very good nonetheless. I used stir-fry vegetables instead of broccoli. My family of picky eaters enjoyed this very much. A keeper!

Tasty, I'm just not sure about the chili sauce. Not the flavor I usually expect with a Chinese food dish. Unless there's some type of Chinese chili sauce that I was supposed to have used. I served it over rice.

Very delicious. I used regular butter instead of spread. The chicken was very tender and juicy, and had a rich flavor. The sauce was also great. I'm going to use this method of sauteing chicken with other chinese sauces as well. Highly recommended!
