  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea or Himalayan salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 heaping cups broccoli floret
  • 1 cup red bell peppers, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup unsalted dry-roasted whole cashews
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (I use Bragg liquid Amino’s- found in organic section of grocery store)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Asian chili garlic sauce

 

Directions:

  1. Add cornstarch, salt, pepper, chicken to a gallon size zip lock bag. Seal and shake to coat chicken evenly.
  2. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add the oils, chicken, and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir every minute or so, so all sides cook evenly. Chicken should be about 80-90% cooked through.
  3. Add the broccoli and bell peppers and stir to combine. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and chicken is cooked through; stir intermittently. While vegetables cook, make the sauce
  4. To a medium bowl add the soy sauce, garlic, honey, rice wine vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, and whisk to combine; set aside.
  5. Add the cashews to the skillet and stir to combine.
  6. Add the sauce and stir to combine. Allow sauce to simmer over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Let cool before eating!
  8. Enjoy
