Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup unsalted roasted cashews
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and mixing with soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger for about 20 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sauté marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add diced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture until smooth. Pour over chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
  5. Toss in roasted cashews just before serving to warm through.
