Step 1
In a wok or a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or vegetable oil) over medium heat.
Step 2
When hot, add the raw cashews and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cashews turn golden brown and aromatic.
Step 3
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and has a bit of caramelization.
Step 4
Remove chicken and cashews from wok and reserve.
Step 5
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil, and when hot add the onion and cook for a couple minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the sliced red and green bell peppers, along with the trimmed sugar snap peas. Continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
Step 7
Add the reserved chicken and cashews back to the pan.
Step 8
Add the garlic, ginger and green onion and the zest of a lime and stir in the sauce.
Step 9
Stir to coat everything evenly. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with 1/4 cup of chicken stock.
Step 10
Allow the mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Step 11
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) to thicken it further.
Step 12
Serve the Roasted Cashew Chicken over a bed of cooked jasmine or coconut rice.
