Thai Stir-Fried Chicken with Cashews
Stir-fried chicken with cashews is a Thai classic. Our version using mostly pantry staples and can be on the table in about 30 minutes. The chicken marinates for 15 minutes before cooking—use this time to prep the bell pepper and scallions. Serve the stir-fry with steamed jasmine rice.

Tip
Don't discard the marinade after draining the chicken. It's mixed with ¼ cup water and becomes a sauce that lightly coats the chicken and vegetables.

Fantastic Recipe & Blissfully Simple As Well
I've made this dish a lot--after the first time, by request on multiple occasions--because it's so delicious. It's also a wonderful dish for those who love many of the flavors in Thai food but who are also heat-sensitive (I'm not, but some of those for whom I cook are). The effort v. reward here is such a great return that now it's usually the first thing I think of when I think chicken unless I'm making the conscious decision to try a new dish. Really one of my favorite recipes from Milk St.

Delicious!!
So good, perfect balance of flavors. Made it just as the recipe!
I made some changes: brown sugar instead of white. Black pepper instead of white pepper(after all, there are chili pepper flakes-go for it!) Deep fry raw cashews - roasted don't have enough crunch, and added salt is not a good idea. Sprinkle the nuts over the finished dish. This recipe has good flavor

I have leftover roasted chicken breast and instead of marinating the chicken I'll start with stir-frying the veggies, add the chicken & marinade and let it thicken & heat. Serving with left over rice. Hmmm, oooo maybe add a little mango to the rice! :)
