SPICY CASHEW CHICKEN STIR-FRY



SPICY CASHEW CHICKEN STIR-FRY image

Categories     Chicken     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Healthy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup Honey
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp low-sodium Tamari
1 Tbsp Chili Garlic Sauce (Sambal Oelek) or Sriracha
1 1/4lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 Tbsp cornstarch
Kosher salt & Freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, sliced or minced
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup toasted cashews
2 cups cooked brown rice

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine the honey, vinegar, tamari and sriracha. Whisk to combine and set off to the side. In a large bowl combine chicken with cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Over medium-high, heat wok or large skillet with coconut oil and sesame oil. Once hot arrange the chicken in an even layer. Leave undisturbed for 3-4 mins. or until golden crust forms. Flip and continue to cook for 3-4 mins. Remove the chicken to a bowl and set off to the side. Add the broccoli, peppers, onion and garlic to the wok. Cook, stirring often until vegetables are tender yet still a bit firm. Add chicken back in and cook for 2 to 4 mins. or until fully cooked. Add cashews, peas and sauce to the wok. Stir until coated and heated through. Serve over warm rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry.
  • Cut your chicken into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken: This will help it absorb flavor and stay tender during cooking.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: This will help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of frying.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your stir-fry.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should still be slightly crunchy when you're done.
  • Add a sauce or glaze: This will help to bind the ingredients together and add extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken cashew stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. With its combination of tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and flavorful sauce, chicken cashew stir-fry is sure to become a favorite in your household.
