Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

I am definitely obsessed with cashews. And asian inspired meals. So when the two of them combine into one meal… you know its going to become an instant favorite. I love being able to use fresh veggies in a meal and that is why I especially love a good stir fry. It is a complete meal all made in one pan. I also added zucchini into this meal and everything came together perfectly.

The glaze on top of this chicken is absolutely perfect! The sauce thickened up and coated the chicken so well. The flavor was unreal! My hubby said this was one of the best things that I have made. I can’t wait for you to try it!

How do you make a good stir fry?

  • To start, browning your chicken in a medium skillet or wok over medium high heat. Then add in your veggies and continue to cook until the veggies start to become tender. Add in cashews.
  • Add in chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. In a small bowl whisk cornstarch and water and add to the sauce. Pour over chicken and veggies and simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  • Serve over rice.

What can I add to a stir fry?

  • Bell peppers
  • Hotter pepper varieties (red peppers, etc.)
  • Water chestnuts
  • Onions
  • Sliced Carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Garlic
  • Snow Peas

Paprika & Lime Grilled Chicken Tenderloins

Whether you’re heating up the BBQ on a warm summer’s day or you need to give your skillet a bit of a workout, this is a fabulous chicken recipe that I know you will love.

My paprika lime chicken tenderloins are tender and juicy. The spices and citrus used in the marinade will take your taste buds on a little holiday to the Caribbean, Mexico or Spain – your pick!

I used chicken tenderloins because I find the meat more tender than the rest of the chicken breast and it’s easier to work with than the chicken thighs. You can use any chicken meat you like, just adjust the cooking time depending on the size of the pieces. This marinade will also work well with turkey, pork, quail, prawns and even beef.

What Are Chicken Tenderloins?

Still confused about what chicken tenderloins are? They are short, thin cuts taken from beneath the breast of the bird. You might find that some grocers will sell thinner slices of breast meat and call it chicken tenderloins or tender. They tend to be softer than chicken breast when cooked BUT should not be overcooked, they don’t need as long as the chicken breast.  

Nutritionally speaking, they are the same as chicken breast meat – high in protein, minerals, low in calories and fat.

Description

Grilled paprika and lime grilled chicken tenderloins are great with any side dish and can be used in salads, tacos, and wraps. Can be cooked outdoors or on a stove.

  1. Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Rinse the chicken and cut larger pieces in half.
  2. Using your hands, rub the chicken with the marinade. Leave in the bowl, wrap with cling wrap and set aside in the fridge for at least one hour before grilling.
  3. If using a grill plate or a skillet on your stove, heat one teaspoon of coconut oil until sizzling hot. Fry the chicken pieces for 4 minutes on each side and then remove to a plate to rest. Make sure not to overcrowd the frying pan or you will end up with too much meat juice and stewed rather than grilled chicken.
  4. If using a BBQ, heat the plate to sizzling hot and either spray with olive oil or brush with coconut oil. Place chicken pieces on the plate with a little space in between and cook for 4 minutes on each side on medium/high heat with the lid on.
  5. Remove cooked chicken to a serving plate and drizzle with lime juice before serving.
