SKINNY SLOW COOKER KUNG PAO CHICKEN
This delicious Skinny Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken is coated in a sweet and spicy sauce with tender vegetables and crunchy cashews. Skip the takeout, this is so much healthier and better!
There is no deep frying required. Just a little oil to brown the chicken. Plus it has a generous serving of tender crisp veggies. I used red peppers and zucchini but you can easily swap in your favorites.
To make this Kung Pao Chicken, start by coating the chicken in cornstarch and browning it before adding it into the slow cooker. If you are in a pinch, you can skip this step but browning the chicken on the stove first makes a big difference!
