Easy Kung Pao Chicken Recipe

November 29, 2009 · by Tiffany Merritt · 1 Comment

kung pao chicken recipe
This is the best easy Kung Pao Chicken recipe I have ever tried. I LOVED this! It has a lot of ingredients, and the kitchen gets messy in the process of making this, but it is worth it, and all those ingredients don’t mean it’s hard…promise. I’m a huge fan of takeout Chinese food, and rarely do I find a DIY version that even compares. But this one is definitely a winner!
