These General Tso’s Chicken Bowls are one of my top fave healthy weeknight dinners! A better-for-you twist on one of my favorite classic takeout meals, these bowls combine crispy chicken, colorful veggies, and a sweet-umami sauce that even my kids can't get enough of. I also love that they come together in about 35 minutes and have 41 grams of protein! They're super easy to customize, the spicy level can be adjusted to taste, and every bite is SO good.
