Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cashews lightly toasted
  • 1 cup broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 bell pepper sliced any color you prefer
  • 0.5 cup carrots julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until they are thoroughly cooked and golden brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Next, introduce the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds to release its aroma. Then, toss in the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots, and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and honey. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle the cashews on top. Stir everything together for another minute to combine flavors well.
  • Serve the stir-fry warm over cooked rice or noodles, and enjoy this flavorful dish!
