Description

Ingredients

• 3 chicken breasts, diced into bite size pieces
• ½ onion, sliced
• 1 head broccoli, chopped into small florets
• 8 oz can of sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 1 cup cashews
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional!)
• For the sauce:
• ½ cup soy sauce (tamari if you want gluten free)
• ¼ cup veggie broth
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons corn starch

Directions

• Heat a wok or large pan over medium high to high heat with some vegetable oil
• Season your diced chicken with salt and pepper (not too much! The soy sauce has a lot of sodium)
• Add your diced chicken to your hot wok/pan and cook until the chicken is JUST cooked through
• Remove the chicken to a plate and add your vegetables (onion and broccoli) to the wok/pan
• Saute for a few minutes until the onions have softened
• Meanwhile, make your sauce
• Add all the sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until thoroughly combined
• Add your chicken back in with your veggies, and add your water chestnuts
• Pour your sauce in, and simmer this for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened
• If your sauce isnt thickening enough for your preference, create a slurry by stirring together 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water together in a small bowl. Add your slurry to the chicken and veggie mixture and simmer until the sauce has thickened further
• Add your cashews and stir to combine
• Top with green onions and sesame seeds as you serve (optional!)
