Cooking Steps

1
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add half the cashews to the dry pan. (TIP: Reserve the remaining cashews for another creation!) Toast for 2-3 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) 
  • Transfer to a plate. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.**
  • Remove to plate.

  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, onions and peppers. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring often, until tender.

  • Add garlic, then return chicken and any resting juices to pan. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add sauce mixture. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until chicken and veggies are coated.
