How To Make Chicken, Chili Jam, Broccoli, and Cashew Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
• 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chilli jam (store-bought or homemade)
• Cooked rice, for serving
• Chopped green onions or cilantro, for garnish (optional)
• Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken:
   • In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken breast with soy sauce and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Prepare the stir-fry sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the chilli jam with a splash of water to loosen it slightly. Set aside.
3. Cook the broccoli and cashews:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften but are still crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
   • In the same skillet, add the cashews and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove the cashews from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the chicken:
   • Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
5. Combine everything:
   • Return the cooked broccoli and cashews to the skillet with the chicken. Pour the chilli jam sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
   • Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the chicken, chilli jam, broccoli, and cashew stir-fry hot over cooked rice.
   • Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the stir-fry.
