Instructions

  1. Heat large skillet over medium high heat and add oil. Add chicken and saute for 6-8 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add carrots, yellow pepper, and onion and saute for 4-6 minutes.
  2. Turn down to medium heat and add chili garlic sauce, honey, ginger, and tamari and stir to coat. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of water, if needed. Stir in cashews and season to taste. Heat for 1-2 minutes. Top with scallions.

  4. *If you are putting this over rice, I suggest doubling the sauce. **May reduce chili garlic sauce to 1 Tablespoon if you don't like spicy food.
