Cashew Chicken

Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:13 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes
Servings: 5

Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or other neutral oil
1 small sweet onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
1/3 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
4 scallions, diced
3/4 cup unsalted roasted cashews
cooked white rice, for serving, optional

Instructions
In a medium bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper then toss with the cornstarch until the chicken is coated.
In a large nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken and leave undisturbed for 1 minute to develop a crust. Then sauté, tossing often, until browned and cooked, about 8 minutes.
Add the onion, cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft and translucent, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook for 15 seconds until fragrant. Add the rice vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits, about 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the hoisin, water, and chili garlic sauce. Cook, tossing to combine and warm through, about 1 more minute.
Remove from heat and stir in the scallions and cashews. Taste, season with a little more salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve over cooked, hot white rice and enjoy!
