1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs -- cut into 1" cubes
4    garlic clove -- minced
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Use a 4 quart slow cooker.

Put the chicken into the bottom of your slow cooker and add the garlic, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Toss the chicken with two spoons to coat it evenly.

Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, then add the frozen stir-fry vegetables and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are heated through.

Serve over brown or white basmati rice.

AuthorNote: General Tso's chicken served in restaurants is usually breaded and deep-fried, which is not healthy and laden with gluten. This take-out fake-out version is much better for your heart, and your wallet.
