This Cashew Chicken recipe is a quick and delicious dish that's perfect for weeknight dinners. With a flavorful sauce and a satisfying mix of veggies and cashews, it’s sure to be a family favorite.
In a bowl, combine the chicken with paprika, cornstarch, salt, and soy sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a separate bowl. Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken (there shouldn’t be any excess liquid, as the chicken will have absorbed the marinade) and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned. Set the cooked chicken aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the white parts of the scallions along with the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Save the green parts of the scallions for garnish.
Add the sauce and cooked chicken back to the skillet. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Serve immediately with rice or noodles, topped with the reserved green scallion tops. Enjoy!
