Instructions
Mix together the ingredients for the cashew chicken sauce and set aside.
In a Dutch oven or a high side pan on medium-high heat, add in olive oil, and then salt and brown the chicken on both sides for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on how large your chicken is cubed.
Next, add in the cashew chicken sauce and stir to coat.
Add in the vegetables. If you prefer them to be on the softer side, add them in after you add the sauce. If you prefer them to have more of a crunch, add them in near the end of cooking.
Stirring to coat everything and to prevent the sauce from burning, let everything cook for another 4-7 minutes, until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Before serving, add in the cashews and mix to coat.
Top with red pepper flakes and green onions if desired and serve alongside some rice or grain of choice.
