  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water

  • Using 2 medium skillets, pour 1.5 tablespoons oil into each. Heat over medium heat. Add chicken to skillets. Be sure to not crowd skillets. It works best to use 2 skillets for this step as you don’t want the chicken to steam and become soft.
  • Cook chicken until golden brown then flip chicken and repeat. This should take about 10-15 minutes, total.
  • Meanwhile, make the Kung Pao Sauce. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and whisk well to combine.
