Sweet Chilli Chicken Stir fry with Cashews

Stir fry


Hey guys! Steph here.

So it's been a few days since my last post. It's been a busy time! Who's been watching the Australian Open?
I can't get enough of it. In fact whenever its on every year I turn into a tennis fanatic and play heaps in the park behind my house.

Anywayyyy back to the topic, I've spent the past few days thinking about what I was going to cook next and was reading through our 'sensational stir-fries' recipe book, when I came across this delicious looking stir fry that I just HAD to try. I was actually really surprised by how it turned out. It was a great balance between sweet and sour! Not to mention healthy :)

TIME: 3 hours to marinate (if you can) + 10 minutes actual cooking
CALORIES: 363

NOTE: I like to serve this with white rice but of course you can substitute it with brown rice.

Here's what you need:

  • 700g chicken breast fillets, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
  • 2 red chillies
  • 1 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3/4 cup raw cashews, roasted
  • 1 cup broccoli or snow pea sprouts
Here's how you make it:
  1. Combine chicken, coriander, chilli, sesame oil and garlic in large bowl. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours (or however long) or overnight.
  2. To cook- heat peanut oil in wok; stir-fry chicken mixture until brown and cooked through.
  3. Add vinegar, sauce and juice- stir fry until sauce boils.
  4. Add broccoli and then serve with the cashews on top. And Voila!
Enjoy wisefoodies! :)
