Instructions

  1. Step 1: Drain 1/3 cup soaked raw cashews and blend them with 1/2 cup water, 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until smooth to create the cashew sauce.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast, season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Pour the prepared cashew sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh ginger if desired.
