Cashew Chicken Fried Rice. Pour sauce over fried chicken and top with cashews and green onion. Serve with soy sauce to taste over a bed of fried rice, if desired. A saucy chicken stir fry with cashews, this is a terrific combination of flavours.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

I used to go to China Garden in my hometown, whether with my group of friends or my boyfriend (at the time) Kevin…and this is what I always ordered.

Ingredients of Cashew Chicken Fried Rice
- It's 2 of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed.
- You need 2 tbsp of vegetable or olive oil.
- Prepare 2 of medium onions, chopped.
- Prepare 1/2 tsp of minced garlic (or more if you like).
- Prepare 1 1/2 cup of each of any 3 vegetables of your choice (I used Chinese cabbage, broccoli, red bell pepper).
- It's 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper (or to taste).
- It's 2 cup of cooled cooked white rice.
- It's 1 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce.
- Prepare 1 cup of roasted cashews.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. This dish of tender stir-fried chicken and roasted cashews in garlic sauce tastes just like take-out, only better. You don't need a wok — just a large nonstick skillet — and, aside from the chicken, the only chopping involves some garlic and scallions. Cook rice according to package directions.
Cashew Chicken Fried Rice instructions
- Heat oil on medium-high, sauté onions for 1 minute; add chicken, sauté until lightly browned..
- Add all remaining vegetables and and cook until crisp..
- Add rice, making sure any large clumps are broken up. Fry for 2 minutes..
- Add soy sauce, mix through all ingredients well. Add cashews, and fry another minute..
In a small bowl, combine the cashews, broth, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and reserved juice; set aside. In a large wok or skillet, stir-fry chicken in oil until no longer pink. The sauce that coats the chicken, cashews and vegetables will seep into the rice just like happens with normal asian take-out.

Stir in cashews until coated in sauce.
