How to Make Chicken Lime And Cashew Nut Stir Fry

  1. Cook 8 oz dried noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
  3. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces. Stir-fry in batches until browned and almost cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  4. Return chicken to the wok. Add 2 tbsp honey and cook until chicken is fully cooked and glazed (about 2-3 minutes). Add 1-2 tbsp water if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove chicken and set aside.
  6. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Add 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chopped coriander roots, and 1-2 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté for 1 minute.
  7. Add 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, etc.), stir-fry until tender-crisp (about 3-5 minutes).
  8. Add the cooked noodles and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  9. Return the chicken to the wok. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, zest of 1 lime, and juice of 1 lime.
  10. Stir-fry until heated through. Adjust seasoning with more honey or soy sauce if needed.
  11. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander.
  12. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup roasted cashews.
