Add in the garlic and cook for about a minute, then add in the cashews and pour the peanut sauce over top. Once the veggies are nice and tender, add the chicken back to the pan and mix together. Cook the vegetables until they are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Drizzle another tablespoon of olive oil onto the hot skillet and add the broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas and carrots. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a plate and set aside. Season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken in an even layer. In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil to coat the pan. Whisk in 2 or 3 tablespoons of water (or chicken broth for more flavor!), depending on how thick or thin you want the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari (or soy sauce), peanut butter, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Chop, chop, chop! Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and chop all the veggies.Cashews – these add a nice crunch to the stir fry and tastes great with the peanut sauce.Ginger – this adds a little zip to the sauce and amazing flavor.Sesame oil – this adds the BEST nutty flavor to this sauce!.Honey – not only does this add some sweetness to the sauce without using refined sugars, but it also makes a nice sticky sweet glaze! Feel free to swap the honey with maple syrup if you don’t have any on hand.Peanut butter – the base of this sauce and my favorite ingredient! I used all-natural creamy peanut butter in this, but you could also use chunky peanut butter, processed or even other nut butters for a different taste.Tamari – you could also use soy sauce (I like to use lower sodium) or coconut aminos.Veggies – combination of broccoli florets, red bell pepper, snap peas, carrots and green onions.Garlic – I always like to use fresh garlic, but a teaspoon of dried minced garlic or garlic powder will work if that’s all you have on hand.Chicken – I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I cut into 1-inch pieces, but you could use chicken thighs as well.I mean you know I am ALL about Sriracha these days as seen here, here and even here, you literally can’t go wrong because the stuff is so good! So yes totally add some to this recipe if you need that good kick! It’s creamy, lightly sweet and I literally want to drizzle it on everything! There isn’t much spice in this recipe, but feel free to add a tablespoon of Sriracha or red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
