I'm not a huge fan of cashews, but I still enjoyed this dish. The chicken is very flavorful and the sauce is delicious.

The sauce is a bit runny for my taste. I would recommend adding a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

I've tried this recipe with different types of chicken and it always turns out great. I highly recommend using boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

I had some trouble finding cashews at my local grocery store. But I was able to find them online.

The sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. But overall, this is a good recipe.
