I am starting to wonder why it took me so long to start cooking with a crockpot! It can make meals so quick, easy and ready for you when you arrive home from a long day. Plus, it's fantastic for making bone broth! I was inspired to make this cashew chicken by this recipe that I found on Pinterest, but made quite a few changes to remove the sugars, gluten and a few other things. Speaking of Pinterst, if you are on there and addicted like me, come follow me. Although this recipe was done in a crock pot, I think you could probably make this on the stove or in the oven as well. Let me know if any of you try this! I just don't think you can go wrong when cashews are involved!
Recipe: Cashew Chicken
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated (A Microplane is my favorite for this and zesting)
- 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup cashews
Instructions
- Add the chicken pieces and onion to the crockpot
- In a bowl, mix together all of the remaining ingredients except the cashews
- Pour the mixture over the chicken and mix so the chicken is coated
- Set temperature to low and cook for 3-4 hours
- Add in the cashews and serve
Quick notes
Double the sauce if you want some extra to put over vegetables.
The Cauliflower Fried "Rice" or the Cashew Bok Choy would be a great vegetable to have with this chicken dish!
