General Tso's Chicken

General Tso's is safe while breastfeeding. It's fried and saucy, so it's not the most nutritious choice — but as a treat, it's perfectly fine.

General Tso's chicken is deep-fried chicken pieces in a sweet, spicy, and savory sauce. It's higher in calories, sodium, and sugar than many restaurant dishes, but none of the ingredients are harmful during breastfeeding. Enjoy it as an occasional indulgence without worry.
