I love SkinnyTaste.com for this reason. So far I have loved every dish I've made from the website and cookbook. This Kung Pao chicken was a bit of a stretch because I am kind of sensitive when it comes to spicy food. Ironic that I married a man who loves Indian food and thinks most things I make are mild (even when I'm choking because my face is on fire:) So I thought - OK I'l try kung pao chicken, That's kinda spicy right, so the hubs ought to like it ... and it was spicy and he did like it. It was just on the edge of what I can eat but boy was it good. And now I have another recipe that uses zoodles ... I love me some zoodles. I feel like I'm eating pasta but its zucchini :) Win win in my book!
This is a Phase 4 recipe. I'm not sure I could make it Phase 1 and still have it taste as good so I left it alone. I may try some swaps (splenda for sugar is easy, its the Balsamic I'm worried about ...maybe apple cider vinegar. And possibly a thin cauliflower puree to replace the cornstarch to thicken the sauce). If I get to trying that I'll update this post or make a new one with the Phase 1 recipe on it. For now just look forward to it when you hit maintenance!
Here is the kung pao with zoodles as eaten for dinner tonight
