A healthier version of the traditional Chinese dish is this Paleo Cashew Chicken recipe. Using coconut aminos in place of soy sauce creates a delicious Paleo-friendly sauce that is both gluten-free and grain-free. It's a filling and healthy dish enhanced by the delicious crunch and nutty flavor of the roasted cashews.
Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. 1/2 cup cashews, roasted and unsalted. 2 tablespoons coconut aminos. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 tablespoon honey optional, for a touch of sweetness. 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. 1 teaspoon minced garlic. 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger. 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder or tapioca flour. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped green onions for garnish.
Instructions: In a small bowl, mix together coconut aminos, olive oil, honey if using, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and arrowroot powder. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil to coat the pan. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the hot skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken with the sauce. Add roasted cashews to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Paleo Cashew Chicken!
