Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup cooking sherry
¾ teaspoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion, quartered
½ cup whole cashews

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, sherry, sugar, ginger, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bell pepper and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Place onion and bell pepper on a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir chicken and marinade into the same skillet. Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Stir in cashews and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and bell pepper, cooking until heated through.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more chili peppers and garlic next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Szechwan chicken he's ever had. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

This is my go-to recipe for Szechwan chicken. It's easy to make and always turns out great. I like to add a little extra ginger and garlic to the sauce for a bit of a kick.

This Szechwan chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was flavorful and spicy. I served it with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a hit with my family. Highly recommend!
