Mango Cashew Chicken Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil sesame oil is good here if you have it
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
  • 1-2 ripe mangos peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/3 cup organic tamari soy sauce or liquid aminos, low sodium is best
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, orange zest, maple syrup, peanut butter, and chili sauce until well combined (note: it’s okay if the peanut butter doesn’t incorporate all the way). Set aside.
  2. Add olive oil to a large wok or sauté pan and heat to medium-high.
  3. Add the onion and sauté until it begins to turn translucent, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the bell pepper and garlic and sauté another 3 minutes
  5. Add the chopped raw chicken and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Increase the heat to medium high and add the soy sauce and continue cooking, stirring frequently, allowing the mixture to boil about 3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and add the chopped mango and cashews.
  8. Serve the cashew chicken over a long-grained rice such as volcano, or brown basmati rice. Serve with a side of greens. We’d suggest one of the leafy greens that came in your box of good this week.
