Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften but are still crisp.

  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Toss in the roasted cashews and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute to heat the cashews through.

  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Cashew Chicken over a bed of cooked white rice.

  8. Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of freshness and color.
