How to Make Cashew Chicken in the Slow Cooker :

The lethargic cooker makes this so natural thus delectable. The additional progression of cooking the chicken is heavenly.

Prep the Chicken: Combine cornstarch and pepper in resealable food stockpiling pack. Add chicken. Shake to cover with cornstarch combination.

Brown: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high warmth. Earthy-colored chicken around 2 minutes on each side. Spot chicken in a sluggish cooker.

Sauce: Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sweet stew sauce sugar, garlic, ginger, pepper chips, and cashews in a little bowl; pour over chicken. (I like my cashews to be milder so I add them during the cooking system, assuming you need even more a crunch, add them just prior to serving)

Slow Cook: Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.

Appreciate: Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings.

This really used to just require around 25 minutes to make yet I’ve refreshed the formula to incorporate veggies, so presently you have 5 additional minutes prep and a couple of more minutes for cooking yet it’s awesome!

More tone, more flavor, more sustenance, and prepared in a short time!
