One Skillet Cashew Chicken
From:Blair @ www.theseasonedmom.com/
With just one skillet and 5 minutes of prep, this Cashew Chicken is an easy dinner that’s ready in less than 20 minutes (and it’s better than Chinese take-out)!
By far, my favorite part of this Cashew Chicken dinner is that sauce. Oh my goodness…it’s perfection!Salty, sweet, thick…the ideal contrast to the crunchy cashews and tender chicken. Plus, don’t you love when the broccoli in Asian dishes soaks up the sauce and becomes nice and tender? This is a great way to get some more veggies into your kids’ (or husband’s) bodies!
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 12 mins
Total time: 17 mins
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ cup raw cashews
2 scallions, sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 cups broccoli florets (I used frozen broccoli that I thawed first)
Optional: Cooked rice, tortillas, or large lettuce leaves for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk together soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, honey, and vinegar.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Add sesame oil and canola oil, and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add chicken to the hot skillet and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken turns white.
Push chicken to the side of the skillet and add the broccoli and cashews.
Stir fry for an additional 30 seconds, then push broccoli and cashews to side of skillet.
Add scallions, garlic, and ginger.
Cook for about 1 more minute, stirring constantly.
Push the scallions, garlic and ginger to the side of the skillet.
Give the soy sauce mixture one more whisk and then stir it into the skillet.
Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute, until the sauce thickens and the rest of the ingredients are coated.
Serve immediately over rice or wrapped in tortillas or lettuce leaves.
