This healthy cashew chicken recipe doesn’t use refined sugar and you absolutely won’t miss it.
Servings : 4
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into cubes
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 orange bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 onion cut into thick cubes
- 1/2 cup Bragg Liquid Aminos
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp bottled minced garlic
- 1 tsp bottled minced ginger or 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup green onion sliced
- 2 cups brown rice cooked
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Toss chicken and cornstarch in a bowl until chicken is well-coated. Add the chicken to the hot pan of oil and saute until the chicken is golden on all sides, stirring frequently.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to same pan.
- Add the bell peppers and onion and saute 4-5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and peppers have begun to soften. Add the chicken back in to the pan and stir well.
- Whisk the aminos, vinegar, garlic, ginger, honey, red pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
- Pour the sauce into the pan and stir until everything is combined. Bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Stir in the cashews and 3/4 of the green onions.
- Serve over cooked brown rice and top with additional green onions, if desired
Notes
Note: to speed up prep time on this recipe, purchase pre-cut peppers and onions instead of cutting your own.
For a low carb, paleo, or Keto dish, serve with riced cauliflower instead of brown rice.
