Delicious cashew chicken recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts: 1.5 lbs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Cashews: 1 cup, roasted and salted
  • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
  • Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger: 1 teaspoon, minced
  • Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the cashews.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • To avoid soggy chicken, ensure your skillet is hot before adding the chicken and don't overcrowd it.
