Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss to coat evenly.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken (Optional but Recommended)

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear the chicken in batches until lightly browned on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.

Step 4: Slow Cook

  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 5: Add Cashews and Garnish

  1. Stir in the cashews just before serving for a nice crunch.
  2. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Serve the cashew chicken over steamed rice, noodles, or with a side of veggies.
