We've made over another Chinese-food favorite -- General Tso's chicken! Sure, the delivery guy at your favorite Chinese restaurant might miss you, but he'll get over it.

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

10 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tbsp. no-salt-added chicken broth
2 tbsp. cooking sherry
2 tbsp. plain rice vinegar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. hoisin sauce
2 tsp. granulated white sugar 
1 1/2 tsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
1/2 tsp. crushed garlic
1/2 tsp. crushed/grated ginger
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
3 cups small broccoli florets
2 tbsp. thinly sliced scallions

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. 



Place chicken in a large bowl, and season with salt and black pepper. Top with egg substitute, and toss to coat. 



Put flour in a wide bowl. One at a time, shake chicken cubes to remove excess egg, and coat with flour. Evenly lay on the baking sheet.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine broth, sherry, vinegar, and cornstarch. Add 2 tbsp. water, and whisk to dissolve cornstarch. Add hoisin sauce, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix until uniform.

Bring a skillet to medium-high heat. Add broccoli and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Uncover and cook and stir until water has evaporated, about 30 seconds.

Transfer broccoli to a bowl. Remove skillet from heat, spray with nonstick spray, and bring to medium-low heat. Add sauce mixture, and cook and stir until just thick enough to coat a spoon, about 1 minute.

Add chicken and broccoli to the skillet, and cook and stir until hot and well mixed, about 1 minute.

Plate and sprinkle with scallions. Eat up!
