Cashew chicken is one of the most popular Chinese chicken dishes around.
There is just something about the combination of chicken pieces, wonderful Chinese seasonings, savory vegetables and crunchy, salty cashews.
Don't let the long looking list of ingredients deter you.
This is a VERY easy recipe to make, as are all stir fry recipes.
The best way to make this chicken recipe quickly is to be very organized.
Get everything out first, chop and measure it all, then when the ingredient is needed, just pop it in.
