Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Coconut aminos or liquid aminos
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp tapioca flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 (2-inch) nub fresh ginger peeled
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha optional
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
For the Cashew Chicken:
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 3 chicken breasts chopped, about 1.5 to 2 lbs
- 1 large crown broccoli chopped into florets
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tsp sesame seeds for serving, optional
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro for serving, optional
Instructions
- Add the ingredients for the sauce to a small blender and blend until combined. Set aside until ready to use.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped chicken breasts and brown for 3 to 4 minutes (without cooking through).
- Stir in the broccoli, garlic, sauce and cashews into the skillet and bring to a full boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. The recipe is finished when the sauce is bubbly, sticky, and pulls away from the pan when stirred.
- Serve with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. You can serve with steamed white or brown rice and/or cauliflower rice or choice of side dishes.
