Cashew Chicken
Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making perfect cashew chicken. Firstly, try to add chicken breasts to this recipe, because it is loaded with full of protein. But you can also add boneless thigh pieces in this recipe. Secondly, stir-fry the bell peppers until a nice aroma comes from them. Don’t overcook. The veggies should be crunchy. Finally, adjust the quantity of sauce as you like.
