Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. peanut oil
• ¾ cup cashews
• 10½ oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
• 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

Sauce:

• 5 oz. low-sodium chicken stock
• 1 tbsp. rice wine
• 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
• 1 tsp. red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. sesame oil

Directions:

Heat peanut oil in large, heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat. Add cashews; stir fry for 1 minute. Remove cashews with slotted spoon; set aside. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in peppers and cook for 1 minute. Remove chicken and peppers from skillet; set aside. Place half of cashews in food processor and process until almost smooth. If necessary, add a little stock to form a smoother paste. (You may also place cashews in a bag and crush with a rolling pin.)
