Very good, tasty

Plentiful, crispy yet tender chicken - needed a bit more broccoli.

Great!

I think I've had General Tso's a few times in my life, so I don't have a basis for comparison. I really liked this dish because G&T used chicken breast and normally it's thigh or dark meat. I followed the exact cooking instructions. The meat was tender and had a nice crispy surface. The flavors were great and rice turned out perfect reheated in the microwave. It tasted better and healthier than I remember ordering from any restaurant. As others have said, more vegetables would be appreciated!

tasty and easy

Very good, although I would have liked more vegetables. There was a lot of chicken, which was very tender. Flavor was a little sweet for my taste but the chili helped.

Really, really good!

The General Tso's Chicken is delicious! We will definitely put this in our regular meal rotation. Chicken was tender and flavorful; sauce was superb. Super easy to prepare. Portions were just right for two people. Like this dish a lot.
