I love trying new recipes! I made one the other night for dinner that turned out really good. I had always heard of Cashew Chicken, but never had the opportunity to try it. So when I was helping my Mom make the menu for last week's dinners and ran across this recipe in one of our books, I was eager to try it!
Cashew Chicken
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
1 medium onion
4 cups frozen broccoli florets
3 1/2 cups boiling water
2 cups long grain rice
6 or 7 fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground ginger
pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups salted cashews, divided
Slice mushrooms and onion.
In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients.
Transfer to a greased 9"x13" baking dish. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink. Stir in 1 cup of cashews; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cashews.
Enjoy!
