Ok taking a break from the salad bar I have been creating lately and made my favorite vehicle for a scorching firey meal and that is my friend Kung Pao Chicken. I like to eat this one no rice or noodles so it’s pretty much low carb. I also opted to stir fry this version instead of deep frying as it is usually done. Named after a court official or "Kung Pao," Kung Pao Chicken is a spicy Szechuan dish that has had many adaption since its inception I like this one the best. You can either use 1 1/2 boneless; skinless chicken breast OR 3 boneless; skinless chicken drumsticks.
