General Tso Chicken Cutlets

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.

Ingredient

Food ration :

Cooking time :

1 lb

boneless skinless chicken

1 large

egg

1 tbsp

hot sauce (optional)

1 tbsp

corn starch

1/2 cup

Chicken broth or water

1/3 cup

brown sugar

3 tbsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

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

* Step 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.

* Step 3

Add the chicken cutlets to the the bowl, mix well. Set aside.

* Step 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.

* Step 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.

* Step 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.

* Step 7

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

* Step 8

Set each cooked cutlet out to drain.

* Step 9

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

* Step 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.
