| This super easy stir-fry is packed with flavor. We tossed in some chopped cashews for lots of crunch. |
Ingredients

2 tsp vegetable oil, divided

|
|
1 tsp sesame oil, divided
|
|
|
1 1/2 Tbsp ginger root, finely chopped
|

3 small garlic clove(s), finely chopped

1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 large sweet red pepper(s), cut into 1-inch pieces

2 cup(s) broccoli, florets

2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

20 item(s) cashews, roasted, unsalted, roughly chopped

Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil, ginger and garlic; cook 15 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until starting to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes; remove to a plate.
- Add remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil, pepper and broccoli to same skillet; stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add chicken back to skillet, pour in soy sauce and cook, stirring, until chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes more; toss with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Sprinkle on cashews and serve. Yields about 1 3/4 cup per serving.
Notes- We chopped the nuts so we could cut back on the total amount used but still sprinkle a lot on the dish.
