- If you are serving this with rice, I suggest you begin preparing that before you begin this recipe.
- The Cashew Chicken comes together quickly.
- This is also a good time to cut up your broccoli and prepare it for steaming.
- For the broccoli, I usually just put the raw broccoli in a microwave safe baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the microwave.
- Then at the last minute, I zap it in the microwave for 2 1/2 3 minutes.
- Prep all of your ingredients.
- Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper.
- Toss the chicken into a gallon size zip lock bag containing the cornstarch.
- Seal shut and shake until all the chicken is coated.
- Heat oil and a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken and brown on one side for about 2 minutes.
- Add the garlic.
- Flip the chicken pieces over and brown on the other side for about 2 more minutes.
- Add the rice wine vinegar and stir to distribute.
- Add the hoisin sauce and about a quarter cup of water.
- Stir to combine.
- Cover with a lid, and let cook for about a minute longer.
- Remove the lid and add the scallions and cashews.
- Serve with steamed white rice and steamed broccoli.
- Enjoy!
