Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large egg beaten
2 cups crushed cornflakes
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons corn starch mixed with water
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 green pepper chopped large
1 onion chopped large
Optional:
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil or regular sesame oil
2 Chinese dried red chiles finely sliced (optional)
sesame seeds
Directions:
Directions:
Move one of the oven racks to the upper-middle part and preheat oven to 450ºF.
Cover a large cooking tray with parchment paper.
Place three large bowls one next to another and fill the first one with flour, the second with eggs and the last one with crushed corn flakes.
Dip each piece of chicken in flour and egg and cover with crushed cornflakes, while gently pressing to coat. Place on cooking tray.
Bake in the oven for about 13 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cornflakes are golden brown.
Meanwhile put the next 7 ingredients in a medium size pot and bring to a gentle boil. Give the cornstarch and water a quick stir and slow add to the sauce while stirring. Cook for a minute until sauce thickens and turn the heat off.
Add olive oil to a large pan and sauté pepper and onion until soft.
Take chicken out of the oven and transfer to the pan. Turn the heat on to low and pour sauce over the vegetables and chicken, coating each piece evenly while tossing. *If you are adding sesame seeds, sesame oil and dried red chiles, this is the time to add them.
Turn the heat off, transfer to a plate and serve immediately over rice.

Personal Notes:
You can also use Panko crumbs in place of the corn flakes.

I usually just use bottled General Tso sauce.
