The Gypsy Homestead Food-Vibe of the Day:
Crock Pot Cashew Chicken
This is better than most Chinese takeout cashew chicken. Throw it all in the slow cooker and have a delicious, no fuss dinner!
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thigh tenders or chicken breast tenders
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar (can substitute apple cider vinegar with 1 tsp sugar)
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup cashews
Directions:
Combine flour and pepper in large Ziploc bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side.
Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir. Serve over rice.
***If you like more sauce and want to have some to pour over the chicken and the rice, double the sauce ingredients.
Makes 4-6 servings.
***Cooks NOTE: While checking my cooking process with an hour left, I added about 1/2 cup of water to the sauce which is very thick, gently stirred it in. Worked perfectly, sauce is not quite as spicy and about the consistency of ketchup.
