Cashew Chicken
My family loves Asian dishes. This cashew chicken is no exception. This dish works best when you read through the whole recipe & have each part prepared & ready to go so that it moves quickly. A little bit of preparation on the front end is worth it when cooking goes smooth & you have a complete meal in just about 30 minutes. Try serving this with Asian cauli-rice.
