One thing I miss with being gluten free is eating out, especially at Asian restaurants. Most of the things are deep fried and smothered with an amazing sauce that is oh-so-not gluten free.
So instead, I am left to create my own amazing chicken with an amazing sauce. I still don't deep fry my chicken but it is so flavorful that it doesn't need it. I loved this and know I will be making it again.
Orange BBQ Cashew Chicken Recipe
Adapted from Brenda's Canadian Kitchen
2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 red pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp. garlic, minced
1/2 tbsp. ginger (I used from a jar)
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tbsp. hot sauce (I used Franks)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 cup cashews
4 green onions, chopped
Spray nonstick pan with cooking spray, heat pan and season chicken with salt and pepper. Stir fry chicken until golden brown, 4 - 5 minutes. Remove meat from the pan and reserve on plate. Add a bit more cooking spray and add the pepper, onion, garlic and ginger to the pan and stir fry for about 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce, orange marmalade, hotsauce, soy sauce and chicken stock.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Add the cashews, toss to coat. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens up a bit. Serve with brown rice and garnish with the scallions.
