Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

  • Author: Loretta from A Finn in the Kitchen
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • Sauce
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 6 teaspoons tamari or coconut aminos (like this)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of crushed red chili peppers
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Stir Fry
  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 4 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 large bunch of broccoli, cut into florets
  • ½ of a medium red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
  • 1 cup raw cashews

Instructions

  1. For the sauce: Combine chicken broth, tamari, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  2. For the stir fry: In a large food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse cauliflower several times until the mixture is similar in size to grains of rice.
  3. Heat a large saucepan with 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Add cubed chicken in a single layer. Cook for a few minutes until lightly browned and turn over each piece to finish cooking through.
  5. Move chicken to a plate.
  6. Melt the second tablespoon of coconut oil in the hot pan and add the carrots, broccoli, and red onion. Stir constantly for a few minutes, adding the meat back into the pan when the vegetables are tender-crisp and still vibrant in color.
  7. Stir in the sauce and allow everything to get nice and hot.
  8. Serve immediately over a mound of cauliflower rice and sprinkled with cashews. If you want the cauliflower to be warm, either toss that in the hot pan for a minute, or warm it in a toaster oven just before serving.
