Ingredients

Sauce:

1. 2 tablespoons canola oil
2. 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3. ⅓ cup soy sauce
4. 3 tablespoons honey
5. 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
6. 2 tablespoons tahini
7. 2 teaspoons sriracha

Cashew Chicken:

1. 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1” cubes
2. 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3. 1 red bell pepper, chopped
4. ½ green bell pepper, chopped
5. 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
6. 1 cup whole cashews
7. 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the canola oil, followed by the garlic. Whisk gently until fragrant, around 1 minute, then add the remaining sauce ingredients and whisk gently until lightly thickened and smooth, around 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Cashew Chicken:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Add the cubed chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Add ⅓ of the sauce to the bowl and toss gently to coat the chicken. Turn out onto the sheet pan and spread into a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven.
3. In a separate large bowl, add the vegetables and cashews. Add the second ⅓ of sauce and toss gently to coat. Turn out onto the sheet pan with the chicken and spread out into a single layer, tucking between and around the chicken. Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of salt and black pepper, then back for 8-12 minutes, or until juices run clear. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining ⅓ of sauce, then serve with brown or white rice. Enjoy!
