Inroduction
About this Recipe
By: Nichole Miller
I haven’t been one to post recipes on my blog yet, but this one is too good to pass up. I found the original recipe from a pretty picture on Pinterest.
The original recipe used a crock pot, but I changed it up since I got started late. (I also skipped the step of coating the chicken in flour and browning.) The red pepper flakes add a little kick to it but it’s not too spicy.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 cup cashews
- Frozen or fresh stir fry veggies
SAUCE
- 2Tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 4 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 4 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- (1 tsp grated ginger- optional)
This recipe took about 30 minutes total prep and cooking time.
Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

TIME SAVER TIP: Cut up veggies and, if adding rice, pre-cook your rice. I usually have pre-cooked rice frozen in the freezer to use for recipes like this one.
