Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 2 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat them evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Chop the bell peppers and dice the red onion, ensuring everything is cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Then, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. When the chicken is ready, spread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and cashews onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in an even layer.
4. With the oven preheated, roast the dish for 20-25 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through to promote even cooking. Keep an eye on the chicken, making sure it’s cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
5. Once your Sheet Pan Cashew Chicken is out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve over steamed rice or your favorite noodles.
