It’s creamy, lightly sweet and I literally want to drizzle it on everything! There isn’t much spice in this recipe, but feel free to add a tablespoon of Sriracha or red pepper flakes if you want a little heat. Not only does this make an easy dinner your whole family will love, but the leftovers taste even better the next day for a healthy lunch! This peanut sauce might be my favorite part too. I mean you can never go wrong throwing a ton of chicken and fresh veggies into one single skillet and tossing it all together with a delicious peanut sauce! Not only is this recipe perfect for your weekly meal prep (because I must say these leftovers are even better a day later), but there is little to no clean up which makes this dish the perfect weeknight meal! I'm totally a leftovers girl, after those flavors have had time to really seep in (plus, I think the microwave reheating adds some sort of magic to any dish).You guys one pot meals are totally my jam. Pair the easy and quick chicken with that classic Asian sauce that just makes this dish is such a meal win! Now, it's common knowledge that leftover Chinese food is DELICIOUS and I can tell you that the leftovers (if there are any) of this cashew chicken.o my.game-changer! Sometimes those leftovers are even better than the 'first day'. I always kick myself after these silly fears get busted! Stir-frying chicken is one of my favorite ways to cook it now. Low-and-behold, like many cooking techniques I've been timid to try, it was so much easier than I'd anticipated! (Not to mention, super quick!) We also need to make sure it's actually cooked through. Y'all know I'm not one to use much oil in my cooking, but to properly stir-fry chicken.we need some oil.

I still don't have a wok (next on the kitchen 'appliance' list), but I did have the trusty IRON! This chicken was also my opportunity to hone my 'stir-frying meat' skills. The aromas of this chicken while it was cooking on the stove literally made me feel like I was opening up those Chinese take-out containers and was about to dig into the goods! It was one of those recipes that makes you almost cry with tears of joy after so many years of no allergy-approved version of your favorite foods! I was so excited to dig in and so excited for the family to come over for dinner and try it themselves! I think it was the first signs of my later developing cashew addiction! The best nut.by far. My mom was the one who introduced me to the dish (it's her favorite) and I was quick to fall deeply in love.

Cashew chicken was always one of my favorites to order when my family would get Chinese food from our local take-out place. These Chinese chicken dishes are my family's FAVORITES (even more than the slow cooker!) and no one cares that they're all gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and egg-free (of course, some have nuts, but that's okay!)Ĭashew chicken was the first in my line of take-out chicken dishes that I made. Once I perfected the 'mock-wok' cast iron skillet take-out chicken recipe, I went all out and whipped up every flavor! From this, the basic cashew chicken to sweet and sour, sesame, and so on. This is going to be recipe #1 of all my recreated take-out chicken dishes for Strength and Sunshine. You won't need to spend money on take-out anymore! The best Chinese Cashew Chicken made right at home, gluten-free, and soy-free! A healthier recipe you can make for dinner and have the best leftovers for lunch!
