Instruktioner

Make sure your chicken and veggies are chopped and ready to be cooked. Set aside.

Prepare the sauce by whisking together all of the ‘sauce’ ingredients in a small bowl. Set it aside.

In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp oil.

Cook your chicken breasts until almost all the way cooked, about 5 minutes, turning a few times.

Once mostly cooked, take the chicken out of the pan and set aside.

Add 1 more tbsp oil to the pan and throw the bell pepper and broccoli in.

After sauteing for 3-4 minutes, add in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute.

Stir in the sauce and let it thicken.

Once it starts to thicken, stir back in the chicken, and add the cashews and water chestnuts.

Cook for a few more minutes until thickened.

Serve over rice or cauliflower rice! Sprinkle with more cashews and sesame seeds.
