Cashew Chicken

 

This cashew chicken with tender stir-fried chicken and roasted cashews in garlic sauce tastes just like take-out.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup roasted, unsalted cashews
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • Steamed rice, for serving
