• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (About 4 pieces)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 cup cashews
• 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

directions

1. Combine cornstarch and pepper in resealable food storage bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with cornstarch mixture.
2. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker.
3. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sweet chili sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and cashews in small bowl; pour over chicken. (I like my cashews to be softer so I add them during the cooking process, if you want more of a crunch, add them right before serving).
4. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.
5. Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings.
