In a large frying pan, heat half of the avocado oil and sesame oil with the garlic, ginger, and diced chicken breasts.
Cook until the ingredients are browned and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate then set it aside for now.
Using the same pan, add the remaining avocado and sesame oils with the broccoli and red pepper.
Cook for about three minutes.
Add the cooked chicken along with the soy sauce to the frying pan.
Continue to stir the mixture constantly for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables have become tender and the mixture is heated through.
Sprinkle the chopped cashews on top.
Transfer to a plate, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Prep Them All: The cooking process for this dish happens very quickly, so it’s better to have all your ingredients prepped up and ready to go before you start.
Roast For Extra Flavor: Using toasted cashew nuts in this recipe gives them extra flavor and crunch, which makes your dish taste way better.
Blanch For Color: Consider blanching or steaming the broccoli florets for a minute or two before stir-frying them, as this extra step helps them retain their bright color.
Bite-Sized Wonders: Cut both the chicken and broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces to ensure a more thorough and even cooking in the pan.
Stock Up: If the stir-fry looks too dry, add a splash of chicken stock or chicken broth to moisten it.
