Cashew Chicken Stir Fry Healthy

I don’t make much chinese food as I had them alot during my childhood.  We had a mini chinese restaurant that was sort of a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant down the street from our house in Los Angeles.  So my momzy would order various Chinese Combo Specials.  You know the ones that say, “2 items for $4.99 add another item for an extra $1.00”. Yeah, my momzy fell for those advertisements.  LOL!

Well, here I am making one of those chinese combo specials except this involves 2 items. This is my version of that Cashew Chicken Stir Fry but you know I’m going to try and make it healthy.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS CASHEW CHICKEN STIR FRY

Tantalizing Flavors: The combination of tender chicken, roasted cashews, and a coconut-infused sauce creates a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more.

Easy to Make: This recipe is beginner-friendly and can be prepared in under 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for busy individuals and families.

Nutrient-Rich: Packed with protein from chicken and healthy fats from cashews, this dish is not only delicious but also nutritious.

CASHEW CHICKEN INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • The OG’s (Onion and Garlic)
  • Broccolis and Cauliflowers
  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Organic Coconut Aminos
  • Organic Coconut Sugar
  • Roasted Cashews
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN STIR FRY

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt.

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion turns translucent.

Add the chicken cubes and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, coconut aminos, and coconut sugar. Pour this sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well.

Toss in the broccoli and cauliflower florets. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.

Add the roasted cashews to the skillet and stir to combine. If you like it spicy, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the stir fry and mix thoroughly.

Serve the Cashew Chicken Stir Fry over cooked white rice.
