Author's Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also portion out the cashew chicken with rice into containers for a desk lunch or meal prep.

For a non-soy option, I recommend using a No-Soy Sauce. Then adding a sweetener like Honey. If you are gluten-free, then you probably know that most soy sauces contain wheat flour. The No-Soy sauce, Liquid Aminos, and Coconut Aminos are all great Gluten-Free options. Just be sure to check the labels.

For a low sodium option, I recommend using a low sodium soy sauce, liquid aminos, or coconut aminos. Regular soy sauce and golden mountain sauce will have almost double the sodium content.

step 1
Place Canola Oil (3 Tbsp) in a wok over medium heat. Add Dried Chili Peppers (3) and Raw Cashews (3/4 cup) and fry quickly for about 20 seconds, just to release aroma from peppers and add crunch to cashews. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
step 2
Mix All-Purpose Flour (1 Tbsp) with sliced chicken breast until all pieces are coated. Bring heat on the wok to medium-high, add Chicken Breasts (1.5 lb) and cook chicken halfway.
