Crock Pot Cashew Chicken Delight

Ingredients

- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup red bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup cashews, unsalted
- 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by cutting the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Slice the red bell peppers and carrots, and set them aside. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

2. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.

3. Layer in the Crock Pot: Place the chicken pieces at the bottom of the crock pot. Layer the sliced bell peppers and carrots on top of the chicken. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables evenly.

4. Cook the Dish: Cover the crock pot and set it to Low. Cook the chicken and vegetables for PT4H (4 hours), allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. After 4 hours of cooking, add the slurry to the crock pot, stirring gently to incorporate. This will help thicken the sauce. Allow the dish to cook for an additional PT30M (30 minutes) until the sauce thickens to your liking.

6. Add Cashews: During the last 10 minutes of the additional cooking time, add the cashews to the crock pot, stirring gently to mix them throughout the dish.

7. Serve: Once thickened, serve the cashew chicken atop a bed of freshly cooked white rice.
