Chicken

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup cashews
1/2 bunch green onion chopped

Sauce:

1/3 cup soy sauce gluten free if needed
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 Tbsp tomato paste
3 Tbsp honey
3 cloves garlic minced
1 Tbsp fresh ginger grated
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper optional

Instructions

Preheat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Toss the chicken in the cornstarch.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for 5 – 8 minutes, or until nearly cooked through. (Add a little water to the pan if needed to keep the chicken from sticking while cooking it).
While the chicken is cooking, mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
Add the bell peppers and cashews to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the sauce to the pan and reduce to medium low.
Simmer for 3 – 5 minutes, or until the sauce reaches desired consistency.
Remove from the heat and garnish with the green onions before serving.
