General Tso Chicken 🐔

5-6 chicken breast cut into bite sized cubes
2 eggs
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Tapioca Flour (start with this, add more if needed)
Optional for thickening: 1 tbsp cornstarch**
A lot of Ginger spice
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper
Coconut oil for frying

For the sauce
1 tbsp Tomato paste
1/4-1/2 cup coconut aminos
1/2-1 cup golden monk fruit
1-2 tbsp sesame oil
More ginger, garlic powder. (I put a lot!)
optional xanthan gum for thickening
optional sesame seeds & chopped green onions

1. Dice chicken breasts into bite sized cubes. Set aside. 2. Whisk 2 eggs & heavy whipping cream in a small bowl. 3. Combine tapioca starch with ginger spice in separate bowl. Mix. 4. Heat coconut oil on medium heat. Depending on your pan/pot, place enough coconut oil to have half the chicken cubes coated in it when dropped in. About 1/2 cup. 5. Coat the chicken in the egg mixture then the dry mixture then put in the coconut oil to “fry.” 6. You might need to do in small batches. Continue process until chicken is cooked. Remove chicken from pan then season with salt & pepper. 7. In the same pan, place the sauce ingredients and cook on low-med heat. Whisking often. Taste it before coating chicken in it. You may need to add more monk fruit/more coconut aminos. Add salt & pepper. Enjoy!

We could easily make an orange sauce instead as well with fresh oranges, sesame oil & sweetener.
