Kung Pao Chicken image

Spicy chicken with peanuts, similar to what is served in Chinese restaurants. It is easy to make, and you can be as sloppy with the measurements as you want. They reduce to a nice, thick sauce. Substitute cashews for peanuts, or bamboo shoots for the water chestnuts. You can't go wrong! Enjoy!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken in the fridge and it worked perfectly in this dish. The sauce is so flavorful that it really elevates the chicken.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this kung pao chicken was the perfect level of heat for me. It was flavorful without being overpowering. I also loved the crispy texture of the chicken.
