Best Kung Pao Chicken Recipe

Kung Pao Chicken (宫保鸡丁) is easy to make at home with customizable heat, plus, it takes less time than driving to your favorite Chinese restaurant – and tastes even better! This recipe boasts juicy, undeniably tender chicken, crisp tender veggies and crunchy peanuts blanketed in an irresistible fiery, salty, savory garlic chili sauce with a kiss of sweetness. This Kung Pao Chicken recipe allows you to adjust the heat from mild to numbingly hot and to use chilies, red pepper flakes or chili sauce – whatever is easiest for you! You can also use whatever veggies you love from bell peppers and celery to water chestnuts, bok choy, carrots, mushrooms and zucchini. This Kung Pao Chicken is easy to make with a quick chicken marinade while you chop the veggies then it’s just a quick stir fry to dinner. I love to serve this Kung Pao Chicken recipe with homemade egg rolls and cream cheese wontons for a complete takeout fakeout feast.
