General Tso Chicken Cutlets

Fo Fa

I had an urge for Orange chicken or General Tso. Didn't have the stuff to make Orange chicken, but did for General Tso's. Wanted to separate the white and dark meat, this was a good solution. Was still pretty quick and easy this way. If you are not a fan of a super thick sauce, use more broth/water in the sauce.

Steps

30 mins
  1. 1

    Place each piece of chicken, one at a time, between plastic wrap. Pound to about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Mix all the cutlet ingredients (first 5 after the chicken) except the chicken, together in a bowl large enough to hold all the chicken.

  4. 4

    Mix all tso sauce (every thing else but the oil and bread crumbs) ingredients. I used about 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper for a little heat. Adjust to your taste.

  5. 5

    Added enough oil to a skillet to come up about 1/4 - 1/3 way up the cutlets. Set on medium to medium-high heat.

  6. 6

    I use the cutlets as is, the corn starch coating gives it slight crunch, but if you desire a thicker breading, dredge in seasoned flour or coat with bread crumbs.

  7. 7

    Add cutlets to hot oil, fry until golden, flip, fry other side. Depending on your thickness, 2-4 minutes a side.

  8. 8

    Set each cooked cutlet out to drain.

  9. 9

    When all cutlets are fried, remove all but about a tablespoon of oil.

  10. 10

    Give the tso sauce one final stir, the add to the skillet. Bring to a boil, boil for about 1 minute, until thick. Turn heat down to medium - medium low.

    Adds cutlets back to skillet to warm back up and coat with the sauce.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
