How to Make Chicken With Cashews And Broccoli

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons sherry, 2 tablespoons tamari sauce, and a few dashes of Tabasco sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is cooked through (about 5-7 minutes) but not browned.
  4. Remove and discard the ginger.
  5. Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  6. Add 1 head broccoli, cut into florets, 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 2 scallions, thinly sliced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet.
  7. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until broccoli and peppers are heated through but still slightly crisp.
  8. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir constantly until the sauce begins to thicken (about 1-2 minutes).
  9. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine.
  10. Stir in 1/2 cup cashews. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  11. Serve immediately over brown rice.
