What do you mean by cooked chicken? Do I just bake it plain first so that is cooked or am I meant to do something else?

  Cut up the raw chicken into 1″ or smaller cubes and cook over medium heat in a skillet. Drain out the excess liquid and then add the rest of the ingredients for this recipe

Hi! I bought raw cashews, will they be okay to use? thanks! This sounds great, I can’t wait to try it tonight. I just got done doing my chicken so it’s ready later.

  I’m late to the party; but you should definitely roast them before making this. Raw cashews are completely fine; but to get the maximum flavour out of the nuts; it would be best to give them a toast.
  
  Just throw them in a frying pan over medium heat and roll them around until they take on a golden colour. When you can smell them, they’re done.

This is a great base that you can adjust to your likings. I sauteed chicken cubes in sesame oil and oyster sauce. Added red bell pepper and carrots to the broccoli, a bit more soy sauce plus some red pepper flakes/cayenne for more heat and flavor. (If I had chili garlic sauce on hand, I would’ve used that.) Thanks for the recipe!!!

Mushka – i toss a 3 lb bag of chicken breasts into the crock pot on Sunday evening and when it is done, shred with a fork. Then, we have cooked chicken to use all week in recipes. Or to make chicken salad for lunch. Can’t wait to try this! Think I’ll toss in some red pepper flakes for a little kick, though.

I just made this for dinner. I cook dinner about 4-5 times a week, and I usually get all of my recipes off Pinterest. This was PHENOMENAL. The only thing different I did was use half the brown sugar, and I used sesame oil instead. I can’t wait for my husband to get home to try it. Oh, I also added water chestnuts. My 5 year-old keeps asking for more, but I’ve had to hold back so he won’t spoil his appetite for tonight!

Thanks for such a healthy, nourishing, and delicious meal. This will definitely be added to my weekly rotation.
