Easy and delicious, Cashew chicken is the perfect quick, healthy meal for busy weeknights! Skip the take-out line and make your own Asian-inspired dinner in just 20 minutes.
Add chicken and cornstarch to a large ziplock bag and toss to coat the chicken.
Heat a large skillet or wok.Add in cashews and saute until golden brown. Remove from pan.
Add oil to the same pan.Add in chicken and sauté for 3-4 minutes to brown the chicken on the outside (the chicken will continue to cook in the sauce).
While the chicken is cooking add soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil and hoisin sauce to a medium bowl.
Add the sauce to the chicken and stir frequently. The sauce will thicken up pretty quickly. Add in red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 additional minutes.
Stir in cashews and serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
