This un-pao chicken is the delicious non-spicy version of kung pao chicken. This recipe has all the flavors of the stir fry classic minus the heat. It can be made at the same time as kung pao chicken if you have someone who likes the spice and others who don’t.

In my house, I like a little heat sometimes but the whole family doesn’t agree. So I make this recipe the same time as kung pao chicken but I separate it and add the chilies and sriracha to mine and keep the other part non-spicy. If you love spice then check out my Kung Pao Chicken Recipe HERE.
