Chinese Chicken

This is one of our favorite dishes, my husband and I make it regularly.  It is better than anything at a Chinese restaurant.  We love it.   This recipe is versatile, if you looking for something a little more healthy it can be made and then served over rice or if you looking for a little crunch you can use it to make won-tons by filling  pre-packaged won-ton shells and then frying them.   You can find the won-ton shells in the produce section of most grocery stores.
