SLOW-COOKED CASHEW CHICKEN

Slow-Cooked Cashew Chicken image

I make this cashew chicken in my Fagor® Multi-Functional Cooker where it cooks in about 2 hours (mine runs hot), but you could also make it in a traditional slow cooker; just allow a longer cook time.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sauces, and tender meats will make a world of difference in the final dish.
Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you fill the slow cooker too full, the food won't cook evenly. Leave some space between the ingredients so that the heat can circulate.
Cook on low for longer: This will help the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
Add vegetables towards the end of the cooking time: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
Thicken the sauce, if desired: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker sesame chicken with cashews is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet, and the cashews add a nice crunch. You can serve this dish over rice, noodles, or vegetables. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table with minimal effort.
