Cashew Chicken-Crock Pot

February 17, 2013

We just love Chinese food, unfortunately our options aren’t great for take out, so I try to make my own whenever possible, thus eliminating the MSG that most restaurants use and that is so bad for you. This is one of the simplest recipes in my repertoire and I think you’ll love it! Of course, using the crock pot is an added bonus on those nights when you’re running like mad…

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts-cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup flour
Pinch of pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 garlic clove-minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger-grated
Pinch of crushed red pepper; to taste
1/2 cup cashews

Combine the flour and the pepper in a Zip-loc bag. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides for about 5 minutes total....
