  9. Add cashews to cookie sheet for the last 3 minutes of baking time.
  10. Set aside and keep warm.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together broth, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce and cornstarch, until well blended, set aside.
  12. Heat sesame oil in large fry pan over medium high heat until hot but not smoking.
  13. Add snap peas, cook and stir for 3 minutes until tender-crisp, stir in water chestnuts and bamboo shoots.
  14. Add sauce mixture to veggies, cook until mixture boils and thickens, stirring often.
  15. Fold in chicken, sprinkle with cashews.
