Orange Cashew Chicken

I love making my own Chinese takeout at home. It's such a fast dinner to whip up and, for the most part, tastes a lot better than ordering Chinese takeout. At the very least, it's fresher and piping hot when you want to eat it. One of my favorite dishes is Cashew Chicken.

This recipe mixes up a typical stir fry by adding orange marmalade & hot sauce in addition to onions, red peppers, bite size pieces of chicken, and cashews. The end product is half sweet and half spicy with the nutty, buttery flavor of cashews. This dinner disappeared fast in our house!

  LESSON LEARNED: I've found that a 3:1 ratio of vegetables to chicken works well. It makes the dish healthier by adding more veggies and you'll never miss the chicken - especially when you add cashews.
