Slow Cooked Chicken With Cashew Nuts
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 1kg of chicken breast
- 1/2 cup of unsalted cashew nuts
- 1/2 a Teaspoon of chilli flakes
- 3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger
- 1 1/2 tablespoons crushed garlic
- 1/4 cup of plain flour
- 1 table spoon of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 red capsicum
- 1 red onion
Instructions
- Cut up chicken into thick strips.
- Place chicken strips into a bag or bowl add flour and pepper shake or mix until chicken is coated.
- Pop the chicken into a pan with some oil and cook it until the outside is golden. (doesn't need to be cooked through)
- Place chicken into slow cooker, add all of the other ingredients and give it a good mix. I then added about 1 cup of water, mixed it again and turned on at low heat.
- I mixed it about once or twice per hour for approximately 5 hours adding water throughout the day as we like a nice sauce with our food.
- About an hour before you are ready to serve chop up one red capsicum and one red onion, lightly cook in a frying pan then added to the slow cooker.
- Right before I served it up I added the cashew nuts and that was it!!
- You can obviously change this and add some extra vegetables but as the dish already had a lot of flavour I wanted to keep it simple.
- Enjoy!!
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I omitted the chilli & roasted the cashews to add on plates once served.
Loved this differently a favorite in our house now
Lesson to learn – read everything first – when it said add everything – I did, cashews, capsicum and red onion – you add them at the end not when it says to add everything just after browning the chicken – should still taste great though – let’s see 😉
