As you all know I have been trying to recreate Todd’s favorite take out meals at home with a healthier spin to them. So far he has enjoyed all of the meals I have tried so here is another one being added to the list to see if he will enjoy. This is my easy peasy instant pot cashew chicken that is pretty much fool proof!

What you will need:

  1. 1.5 lbs Buy Ranch Direct chicken chopped into bite size pieces
  2. Coconut aminos
  3. Sesame Oil
  4. Minced garlic
  5. Chili garlic sauce (substitute chili flakes)
  6. Bone Broth (sub water)
  7. Cashews
  8. Broccoli
  9. Red bell peppers
  10. Green Onions
  11. Sesame seeds (I used Everything but the bagel sesame seed seasoning)
  12. Tapioca flour (this is used to thicken up the sauce you can omit or substitute arrowroot)

If you don’t have an instant pot try cooking in:

  1. In your slow cooker: follow the directions below and cook for about 6-8 hours in your slow cooker
  2. In a large pan over stove top: follow the directions below (minus the instant pot directions), you will cook your chicken in pan for 5-7 minutes, then add the veggies, broth, and cover your pan. You may need to add in less bone broth, if it has too much liquid just bring to high heat and cook until the liquid is absorbed.
