One of my favourites 😍

Today’s recipe “Cashew Chicken” I added bell pepper and broccoli to increase its nutritional value (you can skip them if you don’t like any of them).

Sriracha and pepper flakes are optional so if you have kids who like this kind of meals, plz skip these 2 ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

The marinade:

• • • •  2 Tbs cornstarch.

      •  ½ tsp black pepper.

      •  2 Tbs soy sauce.

      •  2 Tbs sesame oil.

      •  1 tsp rice vinegar (or any vinegar you have).

      •  750g chicken breasts, cut into small cubes.

The sauce:

• • 1 Tbs cornstarch.

  •  1 ½ Tbs rice vinegar.

  •  ¼ cup honey.

  •  3 Tbs soy sauce.

  •  1 ½ Tbs Sriracha sauce. (Skip it if kids will eat with you).

  •  ½ cup water, or chicken broth.

  •  2 Tbs vegetable oil.

  •  2 cups broccoli florets.

  •  1 large onion, chopped

  •  1 red bell pepper, cubed.

  •  3 medium cloves garlic, minced.

  •  ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional).

  •  1 cup cashew nuts, toasted (unsalted).

DIRECTIONS

1. 1. 1.  Combine all the marinade ingredients, Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

      2.  In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients and whisk to combine. Set aside.

      3.  Prepare and cut the veggies.

      4.  Remove the chicken from the marinade. Heat 1 Tbs vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in single layer, sauté and stir frequently, until golden and cooked (about 10 minutes).

      5.  Remove to a plate and set aside.

      6.  Add the remaining 1 Tbs oil to the pan, sauté onion for few minutes then add broccoli and bell pepper.

      7.  Sauté until the vegetables are crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

      8.  Add the chicken back to the pan and then the sauce mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and all vegetables and chicken are coated, about 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the cashews to the skillet. Stir to coat.

      9.  Serve immediately over cooked Basmati rice garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
