CASHEW CHICKEN



Ingredients

·      1 Tbsp canola oil
·      ½ cup soy sauce
·      4 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
·      4 Tablespoons ketchup
·      2 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
·      2 Tbsp brown sugar
·      ½ tsp black pepper
·      ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
·      1 cup cashews
·      2 garlic cloves, minced
·      1 tsp grated fresh ginger
·      2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (About 4 pieces)
·      3 Tablespoons Cornstach

 Instructions

1.    Combine cornstarch and pepper in resealable food storage bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with cornstarch mixture.
2.    Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker.
3.    Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sweet chili sauce sugar, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and cashews in small bowl; pour over chicken. (I like my cashews to be softer so I add them during the cooking process, if you want more of a crunch, add them right before serving)
4.    Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.
5.    Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings.
