Thai Cashew Chicken

Here is a Pinterest recipe I found almost two years ago and am just now making.  It was pretty good I must say!  I would suggest prepping  (chopping veggies and getting all of your stuff out).

Here is the recipe:  http://fastpaleo.com/recipe/thai-cashew-chicken/


                                   

                                   

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breast, You can  use chicken tenders so they cook quickly

• 1 Tablespoon of arrow root powder

- in a dry nonstick pan over medium heat toast up your cashews. This should only take about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them, they will burn.

- take chicken out and set it on a cutting board.

slice chicken thinly against the grain

- in a separate small bowl.

add the other 1/2 cup of stock and arrow root powder, stir till completely dissolved and add to the pan of veggies
