My husband and kids literally gobble down my Mandarin Cashew Chicken. If you’ve only got 30 minutes and you want a dish your family will love, then put this on your meal plan this week.
I had to start doubling the recipe to satisfy everyone. They love the cashews and mandarin oranges; I love that this is a super easy healthy meal I can serve my family.
You can also use bottle stir fry sauce in lieu of homemade if you have less time or just want less hassle. Whatever works for you.
I like to stir fry the ingredients in a stove top wok, but a large skillet works just as well.
We like our Mandarin Cashew Chicken over sticky rice prepared with my rice cooker. I’ve had mine for several years and I don’t know how I ever managed without it. I love that I can start the rice, forget about it and concentrate on preparing the rest of dinner. It turns out perfectly every time.
If you don’t have one…get one stat!
