Ingredients

  • about 680 g Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup Cashews
  • 2 Bell Peppers (Mixed)
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 680 g of Chicken Breast into 2.54 cm pieces. Slice the 2 Bell Peppers (Mixed) and the 1/2 Onion.
  2. 2Heat 2 tbsp of Avocado Oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, which is 204.4°C (200°C).
  3. 3Add the about 680 g of Chicken Breast pieces to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. 4Add the sliced 2 Bell Peppers (Mixed) and 1/2 Onion to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still have a slight crispness.
  5. 5While the vegetables are cooking, in a bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos, 1/2 cup Chicken Broth, 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar, 1 tsp Ginger, 2 cloves Garlic (minced), and 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum until well combined.
  6. 6Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for 2-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. 7Stir in the 1/2 cup Cashews and cook for 1 more minute to heat them through. Serve the Keto Cashew Chicken hot.
