Stir-Fried Chicken with Broccoli and Cashews

 Micah (Connecticut) says:
I made this, sans the cashews, tonight. This was my first stir-fry ever and it came out great! I used vegetable oil instead of peanut oil but I don't think that makes much of a difference.

I have made this recipe 10 or 12 times, Sometimes I add snow peas, it is awesome! Always now one of my favorites.

Surprised at how simple yet delish this was. Only change I might make is add one less tsp of cornstarch. I'm totally adding this to the rotation.

I made it tonight. I have never made stir fry either. No cashews. And used olive oil instead of peanut oil. I also added cauliflower too. It was great!

 John (District of Columbia) says:
Made this over the weekend, used olive oil instead. It was a hit. However, I think I'll use less cornstarch nest time. I like my sauce a little thin. Plus, adding additional vegies wouldn't hurt either.

This was a very flavorful. We added more chicken and used peapod/carrot/brocc mix. The whole family liked! Thanks for sharing.

Yup sounds good. I think we will try it tonight without nuts (I'm toothless Ha Ha) but add Canned Whole Button Mushrooms and Baby Corn ...
