SKINNY SLOW COOKER KUNG PAO CHICKEN #healthydinner #food #chicken #paleo #easy

This scrumptious Skinny Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken is covered in a sweet and fiery sauce with delicate vegetables and crunchy cashews. Skirt the takeout, this is so a lot more beneficial and better!

Hello folks! It's Kelly here from Life Made Sweeter! I'm back this month sharing this Skinny Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken!

I adore making my preferred Asian take out dishes at home since I can help them up without giving up on the flavor.

This formula is much more beneficial than the Kung Pao Chicken you would regularly get when requesting out. As indicated by My Fitness Pal, it's around 434 calories for every serving. In addition, it's extremely simple to prepare and has no different astounding flavors we cherish.

Sweet, exquisite with only a sufficient red hot kick that you can thoroughly redo as indicated by your taste.
