 General Tso's Chicken (serves 4)

I had to share this recipe for one of my $5 (or less) dinners - all items purchased at WinCo Foods:

Ingredients:

1 packet of Sun Bird General Tso's sauce (found in the Asian aisle) $.74 (next time I will use two packets because I like a lot of sauce)

• The ingredients you will need to add to the packet is sugar, soy sauce, flour, oil, and water

1 lb Boneless skinless chicken $2.68

2 cups of cooked rice $.70

Cook according to the directions on the packet.  They are very easy - you will coat the chicken in flour, fry it up; mix up the remaining ingredients and then add to the chicken until well coated. Serve over rice.

My husband and I really liked it; it wasn't too spicy.  I topped it with a little red pepper flakes.  We will definitely make it again.  The packets would be great to keep on hand for a quick meal.

Total: $4.12

Another General Tso's chicken that is all prepared for you is Hy-Top General Tso's chicken.  You will find it in the frozen section next to the Tyson chicken.  It's great and normally about $5.38.
