Last week, I was craving Chinese food when Tricia posted this recipe[1] along with mouth-watering photographs. I had all the ingredients in the house already; so I made this for dinner that same night. We absolutely loved it. I've made this twice now, both with and without the cashews and it was delicious both ways. My kids preferred it without the nuts and my husband and I liked it both ways. However you make it, this recipe is a keeper!
Sriracha Honey Cashew Chicken
recipe adapted from Cooking Light via Saving Room for Dessert
(printable recipe)
[2][3]
3 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2 pieces, about 1 lb
3 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 medium head of broccoli, cut into small florets, about 3 cups worth (you can peel and thinly slice the stem as well, that is my favorite part)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup snowpeas, sliced in half
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry roasted unsalted cashews
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
Mix the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat the pieces. Set aside. Prep the vegetables and place them in a second mixing bowl next to the chicken. In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar and sriracha. Set aside.
Warm the oils in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and toss in the oil to coat. Saute while stirring or tossing constantly for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring or tossing constantly for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetable colors brighten and then are barely softened.
Stir in the cashews and then pour the prepared sauce over the skillet. Toss well to coat well and then increase the heat to high for just a minute or so. The sauce should thicken slightly and stick to everything in the skillet. Serve with or without rice and Enjoy!
