  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp. tapioca flour or cornstarch
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed

  • 1 ½ cups bell pepper red or green, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ½ cups broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
  • cup dry sherry
  • 1 cup cashew coarsely chopped, divided, roasted
  • ¼ cup green onions finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl combine stir-fry sauce ingredients. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  2. In a gallon-sized zip-top bag place chicken slices. In a small bowl combine ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons tapioca flour. Sprinkle over chicken in bag and toss to coat.
  3. Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Add garlic and ginger. Saute for one minute.
  5. Add bell pepper and broccoli. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour sherry into pan and scrape the bottom of the pan for any loose pieces. Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add stir-fry sauce and stir to combine.
  7. Sift remaining 2 tablespoons tapioca flour into pan and stir to combine. Sauce should begin to thicken.  Turn off heat and stir in ¾ cup cashews.
  8. Serve cashew chicken over rice or cauliflower rice with remaining cashews and green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If avoiding soy, use coconut liquid aminos instead of the soy sauce.
  • You can also use other red wine or chicken broth for non-alcoholic.
  • Nutritional information is calculated without rice.
