Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

one package frozen chicken tenders (1-pound)
1 large crowns broccoli, cut into 2-inch florets, about 8 ounces
kosher salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon finely chopped ginger
steamed white rice, for serving
thinly sliced scallion, for serving
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place chicken tenders on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until very crispy and golden, about 10 minutes beyond recommended bake time on the package. Reduce heat to 200 degrees F to keep tenders warm until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, fill a medium pot fit with a steamer insert with 1-inch of water. Place over medium-high heat and when water boils, add broccoli and season with salt. Cover, and steam until broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Place cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, chile flakes, and 3 tablespoons water and whisk to combine. Set aside. Place a small skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil. When shimmering, add garlic and ginger and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Remove chicken tenders from oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the broccoli, sauce, and toss to coat. Serve with white rice on the side, topped with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

I served this chicken over rice, but I think it would also be good with noodles or vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I used a little less chili sauce than the recipe called for. It was still plenty flavorful, but it wasn't too hot for me.

I added some chopped green onions and red bell pepper to the sauce, and it was a great addition. It gave the dish a nice crunch and extra flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge, and this was the perfect way to turn it into a delicious meal.

I was skeptical that a 5-minute General Tso's chicken recipe could be any good, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was sweet and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
