The actual recipe yields per serving about 1 cup of chicken & sauce and 1/2 c. of rice for 323 calories per serving. The recipe makes about 4 servings. It's quite delicious, light, but spicy hot, so adjust your pepper flakes according to your taste or omit. - 3/13/08

My first time making this dish at home. Absolutely tasty! I added 1 egg, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp wine to coat the chicken with before browning. - 1/2/08

It seems funny when "dieters" complain Asian recipes don't taste like their favorite Americanized overly-sugared, battered, deep-fried foods. Grow up please. - 6/14/21

Flavor was awesome! be careful not to cook the chicken too long or it'll get chewy. I cut up 4 chicken breasts because that's what I had thawed. When I told my husband that we should have gotten at least 6 servings out of it he looked at me like I was crazy. He just wanted more sauce! - 8/27/10

I made this for my wife tonight. I am not the cook in the family, but this was an easy recipe that turned out excellent! The only problem is that I may have to start doing more of the cooking now. :-) - 8/9/10

I serve this with brocolli, waterchestnuts & brown rice. I double the sauce as well. Use half of the red pepper flakes full amount is too spicy for Johanna and Mom. - 10/27/09

Delicious. Hard to believe it is a low calorie meal. I should have put more red pepper flakes as I like my general tso spicy, but it still was excellent. SO easy to make, and yet so good. - 6/7/09

This was great. My husband loved it. He loves spicy so we used a lot of the red pepper flakes. Maybe a little too spicy for me, but still good. - 5/6/09

this was pretty good! I never had general tso before so i have nothing to compare it too. I used olive oil instead of peanut cause i didnt have any... >_<
thanks for sharing! - 4/3/09

This was very good with jasmine rice. I may add more soy sauce and red pepper flakes next time, but I like really spicy food. This was more like 4 servings instead of 6. - 3/28/09
