Note(s): Some measurements are estimated, adjust ingredients to your liking. Could also sub for chicken breasts if you prefer.
DIRECTIONS 1. Add all pf the general tso’s sauce ingredients to a small pot and mix. Bring it to a low boil and continue mixing until the sauce thickens. Should take 3-5 minutes. Once done, set aside. 2. Trim the chicken thighs to your liking then cut them into bite sized cubes. 3. Place the chicken into a large bowl.

Once the chicken is about done, lower the heat and add in the steamed broccoli along with ~3/4 of the general tso’s sauce. Let cook and continue mixing until the sauce thickens. 6.
