Spicy ginger cashew chicken

This is the kinda meal that we all wanted to have a whole batch- just for ourselves, because it’s that GOOD.

Spicy cashew chicken is seriously everything!

It makes me feel like sitting on the floor, pretending like I’m eating take out, Gilmore Girl style.

I’ve never had take out, but I feel like I would reach a new status of cool with that brown box in my lap and chop sticks in hand.

But, since I’m basic, I had it in a bowl at the table with chopsticks instead.😜

This meal is exciting enough on it’s own, but if you think you will still be hungry after this, then serving this dish with a pot of rice is always a good idea- that’s our dinner plans tonight. 🙂

If you’re thinking of going with the meal prep route with this chicken, then I suggest using these glasslock lunch storage containers.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

Chicken
Sauce

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into 1" cubes. Heat a skillet over medium heat on the stove and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook chicken in skillet for about 5-8 minutes (stirring on occasion) until just cooked through- when a piece is cut in half, there won't be any pink left.
  2. Chop broccoli and onion into bite size pieces and transfer chicken to a plate. Add broccoli and onion into skillet and cook with a drizzle of olive oil until just soft, but not mushy.
  3. In a blender puree ingredients for sauce until completely smooth, then pour over chicken. Stir in cashews, sesame seeds, and cilantro and serve.
