Cuisine: Asian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bunch green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces (separate the green from the white)
• 2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup cashews
• cooked white rice or brown rice, for serving

Here's how to make it:

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add half the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove.
   
2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the remaining chicken. Cook about 1 minute, then add the garlic and white parts of the onion. Cook until chicken is browned, about 2 minutes. Return the first batch of chicken to the skillet. Add the vinegar. Cook until vinegar evaporates, about 1 minute.
   
3. Add the hoisin sauce and water. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the green parts of the onion and cashews. Cook about 30 seconds more. Serve over rice.
