Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken

My friends finally convinced me to make a pinterest account!

I saw this recipe and I instantly wanted to make it because

1) I love Chinese food
2) I have a minor obsession with the slow cooker

It’s okay, we all have our quirks.

I looked at the directions, and then went off into the kitchen without checking them again. I made some mistakes, but they were delicious ones!

Here's my first pinterest recipe!

I found the recipe from Six Sisters' Stuff

This is the recipe the way I made it :)
  • 2 lbs chicken cut into bite size pieces
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour (obviously, I used gluten free flour)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons of sesame oil (you can use vegetable/canola)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of ketchup
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon of minced ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon (heaping) of red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup of cashews

Combine flour and pepper in resealable food storage bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir. Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings.


It was good! I'll enjoy finding more recipes off of pinterest!

Yall enjoy!
