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