Ingredients

4 servings
Cashews3/4 cup
Bell pepper2 medium
Garlic4 cloves
Soy sauce3 tbsp
Honey1 tbsp
Jasmine rice2 cups cooked

Method

1

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and ginger root. Slice green onion, keeping white and green parts separate.

2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and vegetable broth to make the glaze.

3

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until opaque throughout, about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate.

4

In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onion. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

5

Add bell pepper pieces and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender-crisp. Return chicken to the skillet.

6

Pour the glaze into the skillet and toss everything together. Add cashews and cook for 2–3 minutes more, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.

7

Divide the cooked grain base (jasmine rice, basmati rice, quinoa, or farro) among serving bowls. Top each with the cashew chicken mixture.

8

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion (green parts). Serve warm.
