Savory Cashew Chicken Delight - A Delicious Slow-Cooker Recipe

Ingredients

• ¼ cup of cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• 2 pounds of tender boneless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon of versatile canola oil
• A generous cup of oven-roasted unsalted cashews
• ¾ cup of soy sauce with reduced sodium content
• ⅓ cup of rice wine vinegar for a tangy twist
• ⅓ cup of ketchup to add a hint of sweetness
• 3 tablespoons of delectable sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons of rich dark brown sugar
• 5 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger for a zesty kick
• A pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat
• 2 teaspoons of fragrant toasted sesame oil
• 4 spring onions, thinly sliced diagonally

Step 1

In a resealable plastic bag, mix together cornstarch and pepper before adding in the chicken pieces. Shake the bag gently to ensure the chicken is coated evenly with the cornstarch mixture.

Step 2

Next, heat up some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken for approximately 2 minutes on each side. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a multi-functional pressure cooker, such as Fagor®, for further cooking.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine a delightful medley of cashews, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. This flavorful mixture will be poured over the chicken in the pressure cooker.

Step 4

Seal the lid securely and activate the Slow Cook function. Allow the ingredients to meld together on a Low setting for about 2 hours, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Finish off with a garnish of fresh green onions before serving.
