Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup rice cooked
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 3 bell peppers cut into 4 inch strips
  • optional: sesame seeds & green onions

Sauce

  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ginger

Instructions

  • Add the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Whisk together and then set aside.
  • Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
  • Place the pieces of chicken into the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook. Use a spoon to stir chicken and cook until internal temp is 165 or browned and cooked through.
  • Add the chopped bell peppers to the skillet. Stir occasionally until peppers are desired tenderness.
  • Cut the heat to low and add the cashews, rice, and sauce to the skillet. Stir so that the sauce coats everything in the skillet. Keep on a low heat for about 2 minutes so the sauce can thicken.
  • Take the skillet off the heat and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
