This recipe for four is quick, easy and tasty. If you enjoy Chinese, chicken and Broccoli you’ll love this one. This recipe is a slight variation from my original (more veggies and no white meat) and only takes about 40 – 45 minutes from start to finish including firing up the Egg; note that cleaning of the dirty dishes is not included in the preparation and cooking time.

I like the variation but don't do much breading of anything. It's more authentic but the sauce is the key for the taste to me. Thanks for the link I'll add that to my list of things to try.

Thanks for posting....I'm adding this to my "to egg" list!

that's a nice looking meal. Have you ever used jasmine rice? I find it's really good at soaking up the sauce.

FWIW..

the sauce that I make for "The general" is

1 part soy
1/4 pary vinegar
1/2 part sugar
chop up some garlic and ginger together.
dried chilies
some corn starch

I know that probably didn't help... I was really outlining the ingredients... very simple sauce to make.. adjust the flavours to your liking.
