Ingredients
- 8 oz (230g) chicken breast cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 small red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup unsalted roasted cashew nuts
Sauce:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or Chinese rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with the cornstarch for 5 minutes. This will help make the chicken tender.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together and stir to combine well. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet with the oil. Once it's heated, add the garlic and stir-fry for a few seconds before adding the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken until the surface turns white, then add the broccoli, bell pepper, and cashew nuts.
- Stir to combine well before adding the sauce. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens. Dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
