Hold up! You are about to add a (healthy + delicious) addiction to your life! Kung Pao Chicken is always delicious; sitting there on the takeout menu, beckoning you with whispers of “order me! order me!”.

Since I’m all about not missing out on the old favorites and classics, nothing stopped me from just whipping up a homemade recipe right in the cozy comfort of my own kitchen! Boy, am I glad I have this recipe under my belt now, because it is super delicious and not to mention so simple and easy!Read More
