elle's Easy General Tso's Chicken with Rice

What you'll need to serve 4:
Package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs-usually has 5.
Bottle of Iron Chef's General Tso's sauce and glaze-one half bottle should be enough.
Boil in bag rice-one or two bags-very easy to do in the microwave.
Oil for browning the chicken-I mixed olive oil, vegetable oil, and a little sesame seed oil.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:
Cut the chicken into bite size or larger pieces while the oil is heating over medium heat. Toss the chicken with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and pan saute until done. Pour the sauce over and heat through.
Serve over rice.

Side suggestions:
Canned green beans--I used Kroger brand canned whole green beans
Microwaved boil in bag rice--I used one bag of white and one bag of brown in one large microwave safe bowl.

Easy Tip:
If you mix the two rices together you can cook and serve using the same bowl.

Alternative suggestions:
Adding a little honey and /or brown sugar to the dish will tone down the little bit of spiciness in the sauce. Add the sweetners shortly before the dish is done to give it time to melt. Mix well.

Health Tip:
I like to mix white rice with brown rice for the flavor, texture and added vitamins and fiber.
