Ingredients

  • 6 oz Long Pasta or Noodles
  • 1 ½ lb. Chicken Breast or Thigh trimmed and cubed
  • ½ Green Bell Pepper chopped
  • ½ Red Bell Pepper chopped
  • ½ Orange Bell Pepper
  • ½ Yellow Onion sliced
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tbs Minced Garlic
  • 1 tbs red Chili Sauce
  • ½ cup Cashews salted and dry roasted
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 2 tbs Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tbs Honey or Brown Sugar
  • ⅓ cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 ½ tbs Cornstarch
  • Optional Garnish: Crushed Cashews Cilantro Sesame Seeds, Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  • Cook noodles al dente according to box directions and reserve. Rinse with cool water and set noodles aside.
  • Cut all vegetables and chicken into bite size pieces and place in a large zip-lock or bowl.
  • Add all of the ingredients except the cornstarch and chicken broth to the bag of veggie mix. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • To a hot, large, raised edge skillet add the marinated veggie-chicken mixture and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium high, or until chicken is cooked and sauce has begun to reduce.
  • Whisk the cornstarch and chicken broth together and stir into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. At this point there will be a lot of sauce but it will be perfect for saucing the noodles.
  • Lower heat and toss in the noodles. Thoroughly sauce the noodles. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with crushed cashews and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
  • May be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated by microwave for 30 second intervals.
  • May be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months and reheated by stovetop or microwave.
