Cashew Chicken

                                                                    

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

• 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Stir-fry:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1/2 cup roasted cashews
• 3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

For the Sauce:

• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions:

• In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper for the chicken marinade. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch to make the sauce. Set aside.

• Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it's no longer pink and has a nice sear. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

• In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes translucent.

• Add the minced garlic and sliced bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.

• Return the cooked chicken to the wok and mix with the vegetables.

• Give the sauce a quick stir and then pour it into the wok over the chicken and vegetables. Stir everything together and let the sauce thicken.

• Add the roasted cashews to the wok and give it a final toss to combine everything.

• Once the cashews are heated through, remove the wok from the heat.

• Serve the Cashew Chicken over steamed rice, and garnish with chopped green onions.
