Cashew Chicken
Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in large skillet or wok (like we do) . Season with salt and pepper and then set chicken aside.
HINT: With a Wok the trick is to get the pan hot, then heat the oil, swish it around to coat and then cook meat (or veggies) while tossing to cook evenly.
Next chop your onion, broccoli, red peppers, and garlic.
Heat another Tablespoon of oil in your pan and cook broccoli, onion, red pepper, and garlic for about 5-7 minutes until starting to get soft, but still a little crunchy.
Meanwhile mix your sauce: soy sauce, orange juice, hoisin sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, and cilantro (optional).
When veggies are done, add the sauce, cooked chicken, and cashews and toss over medium heat for about 5 minutes so flavors blend. Serve over a bed of rice.
This is such a flavorful, delicious and healthy recipe!! I guarantee it is better than what you'll find at most Chinese take-out and is so much better for you!
