Lighter General Tso's Chicken

For the life of me I don't remember where i found this recipe. I usually am very good about writing that down, but not this time! I am pretty sure this is a WeightWatchers recipe, but-again- not positive. I love Chinese carry out. Yum. However, it can be really unhealthy. This recipe takes an old favorite, and lightens it up so you don't feel so guilty after eating it. I actually like the sauce more than I do at the restaurants. Most of the time the sauce is too sweet and omits the heat! This recipe give the heat and sweet, but not all the fat and calories. Enjoy!
