Description

A quick and delicious Cashew Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner that combines tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and crunchy cashews, all baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, bell peppers, broccoli, onion, and cashews.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing everything until well coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Stir halfway through cooking for even browning.
  7. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.

Notes

  • For added spice, include a teaspoon of red pepper flakes in the sauce.
  • Swap out the cashews for peanuts or almonds for a different flavor and texture.
