Ingredients

Sauces and Oils

  • 1/4 cup Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce (Use regular soy sauce if low-sodium is unavailable.)
  • 2 tablespoons Honey (Maple syrup can be a vegan substitute.)
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil (Vegetable oil works if sesame isn't available.)
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil (Grapeseed oil can be substituted.)

Main Protein

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (Substitute with tofu, shrimp, or beef if desired.)

Vegetables

  • 2 cups Broccoli (Substitutes include snow peas or green beans.)
  • 1 cup Bell Pepper (Carrots or zucchini can be alternatives.)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Fresh ginger can add extra flavor.)
  • 1/2 cup Raw Cashews (Consider sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.)
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper (White pepper can be used for a milder flavor.)

Instructions 

  • Slice chicken and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  • Mix soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and black pepper to make the sauce.
  • Heat canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken until browned, then add vegetables and stir-fry until tender.
  • Add the sauce and cashews, cook for another 2-3 minutes, then serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of chopped green onions before serving.
