Cashew Chicken
- 1- 1/2 cup White Rice
- 3 cups Water (for Rice)
- 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 6 pieces Boneless Chicken Breast
- 1 cup Cooking Oil For Frying
- 8 cubes Chicken Bouillon
- 8 cups Water
- 1 bottle (7 Oz. Bottle) Oyster Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 cups Cashews
- 5 whole Green Onions/scallions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- I always start by cooking my rice in a rice cooker, but if you dont have one, just cook it on the stovetop as directed on the bag.
- Season flour with salt and pepper.
- Cut chicken in 2-inch pieces and coat in flour.
- I find it easier to place the flour in a large ziplock bag with the chicken and shake to coat.
- Heat oil in a skillet until hot and then fry chicken peices until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels unitl ready to assemble.
- In large pot, heat 8 cups water to boil and disolve bouillon cubes.
- Mix in all of the oyster sauce.
- In a small cup add cornstarch and just enough cold water to make a slurry.
- Add the slurry to the boiling mixture, stirring continuously.
- You want a thick gravy-like consistency.
- Sometimes I need to add extra cornstarch slurry to get it nice and thick.
- This may seem like a lot of sauce, but we like extra to drizzle over our plates.
- Place the cooked rice in a 9x13 baking dish, then place the chicken on top.
- Next goes the cashews (if you want more cashews, by all means indulge) and half the scallions.
- Pour 3/4 of the gravy over the top.
- Place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- You just want to heat it through and warm up the cashews.
- Sprinkle the rest of the scallions on top and serve with warm sauce if desired.
- This makes awesome leftovers for lunch the next day.
