Cashew Chicken Skillet Stir-Fry

Stir fry is a great way to get a variety of vegetables into your diet. This is probably our absolute favorite stir fry and so easy to cook! Serve it over brown rice, and you have a satisfying meal. (Note: If you have allergies to soy or peanut butter, then you will need to substitute a different sauce.)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 1/2 lb. boneless chicken, cut in bite-size pieces

• Pepper, to taste

• 1/2 c. cashews

• 4 cloves minced garlic

• 3 c. broccoli florets

• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 orange pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 c. shredded carrot

• 5 green onions, sliced

• 1 c. sugar snap peas (I can't always find these so normally omit and add more broccoli)

Sauce

• 6 tablespoons soy sauce (I normally use reduced sodium)

• 4 tablespoons natural peanut butter

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger

• 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Heat large skillet on medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with pepper. Add the chicken and cashews and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook a few more minutes.

Add the rest of your vegetables (the chicken won't quite be fully cooked at this point, but that's okay since there's still quite a bit of cooking time left.) Saute for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked to 165 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mix together all your sauce ingredients and pour over stir fry. Allow to thicken for a few minutes. Serve over cooked rice.
