Description

A delicious and simple meal combining juicy chicken, crunchy veggies, and cashews, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup unsalted cashews
  • 2 bell peppers (red and green)
  • 1 red onion
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
  • To taste salt & pepper
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  3. Toss in bite-sized pieces of chicken, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Spread the marinated chicken, chopped bell peppers, and diced red onion into a single, even layer on a sheet pan.
  5. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast for about 20 minutes.
  7. After 20 minutes, stir gently and sprinkle the unsalted cashews over the top.
  8. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For softer cashews, soak them in water for 10 minutes before adding. Can be made vegetarian-friendly by swapping chicken for tofu.
