Kung Pao Walnut Chicken
My healthier take on Kung Pao Chicken! It's lower in calories by saving on sauces and sugar.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Dice your red, yellow and green bell peppers and onion.
On a medium hot pan coated with spray oil, add in your diced veggies and minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
To make the Kung Pao sauce, in a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce and mix.
Add your chicken thighs into the pan and cook until done.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Add in your dried red chili and California walnuts.
Pour your sauce and add in a cornstarch slurry: mix your water and cornstarch in a small bowl for 1-2 minutes. Top with green onions and serve.
