Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and water. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  4. Spread the marinated chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Scatter the broccoli, red bell pepper, snap peas, and cashews over the chicken.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.
