Cooking Steps
- Combine rice, Thai Seasoning, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt in a medium pot.
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
- Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Add chicken, half the cornstarch and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) soy sauce to a large bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While the pan heats, combine sweet chili sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining cornstarch and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water in a small bowl.
- When hot, add cashews to the dry pan.
- Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden and nutty, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on the cashews so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Return the same pan to medium-high.
- Add 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 2-3 min.
- Add peppers. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 1-2 min.
- Add bok choy.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chili sauce mixture and garlic to the pan with chicken and veggies.
- Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, 1-2 min. **
- Roughly chop cashews.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork until butter melts.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide rice between plates. Top with chicken and veggies.
- Sprinkle cashews over top.
