Better Than Takeout Kung Pao Chicken
By Tiffy Cooks
For my Kung Pao Chicken, I wanted to make it easier to cook. Instead of frying the chicken, I pan-fried it so not only is it better than takeout, it is easy, fast, and uses only ONE POT to make this dish. For those who don’t like spicy food, take out the seeds in the dried chili, and it will be perfect!
