There are lots of recipes for cashew chicken, but my family thinks this one stands alone. We love the flavor from the fresh ginger and the crunch of the cashews. Another plus is it's easy to prepare. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1-1/4 cups chicken broth |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed |
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided |
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 small green pepper, julienned |
4 green onions, sliced |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot |
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained |
3/4 cup salted cashews |
hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, brown sugar, broth and soy sauce until smooth; set aside. In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken in 2 tablespoons oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, stir-fry the mushrooms, green pepper, onions and ginger in remaining oil until green pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, water chestnuts and cashews; heat through.
3. Stir broth mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with rice. Yield: 4-6 servings.
