Ingredients

1 lb chicken breasts cut into 1-in cubes
3 cloves garlic minced
1 sweet pepper diced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons agave syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup roasted cashews
1/2 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute chicken, garlic, sweet pepper, and broccoli in oil until veggies are just barely tender and chicken is no longer pink. Reduce heat to medium.
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water, ginger, paprika, soy sauce, agave, and vinegar until smooth.
Add mixture to skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sauce is thickened, about 8 minutes. Add cashews and green onions to skillet and stir until coated. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot with hot rice. Enjoy!
