Crockpot Cashew Chicken
Report
I am obsessed with this Crockpot Cashew Chicken! This tender and nutty dish is made with a sweet and savory sauce of red bell pepper and cashews. Skip the Chinese take out and make this favorite right at home in your slow cooker!

Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken tenderloins cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup soy sauce lite or low sodium
- ½ cup ketchup
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds plus more for garnish
- 1 cup cashews
- 3 scallions sliced
Instructions
- Coat your chicken pieces in cornstarch. Heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken quickly in the pan. We are not looking to cook the chicken through, just get a little color on each side.
- Place the browned chicken in the slow cooker. Add the chopped red bell pepper. In a mixing bowl combine the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, pepper, ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken. Add the cashews and stir everything to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours. Garnish with the scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve over rice.
