Ingredients

2 servings

8 oz (230g) chicken breast (cut into cubes)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 small red bell pepper (cut into cubes)
1/2 cup roasted cashew nuts
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or Chinese rice vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps

Marinate the chicken with the cornstarch for 5 minutes. This will help make the chicken tender.
Mix all the Sauce ingredients together and stir to combine well. Set aside.
Heat a skillet with the oil. Once it's heated, add the garlic and stir-fry for a few seconds before adding the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken until the surface turns white, then add the broccoli, bell pepper, and cashew nuts.
Stir to combine well before adding the Sauce. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens. Dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
