This flavorful Skinny Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken is covered in a sweet and zesty sauce with delicate vegetables and crunchy cashews. Avoid 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 love making my preferred Asian take out dishes at home since I can help them up without relinquishing on the flavor.

This formula is significantly more beneficial than the Kung Pao Chicken you would commonly get when requesting out. As indicated by My Fitness Pal, it's around 434 calories for each serving. Besides, it's extremely simple to prepare and has no different astounding flavors we love.
