Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 100 grams cashew nuts
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 servings cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cashew nuts and toast them for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, and broccoli to the pan. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the pan, along with the toasted cashew nuts.

Step 7

Pour the prepared lime sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the ingredients.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
