Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

I am definitely obsessed with cashews. And asian inspired meals. So when the two of them combine into one meal… you know its going to become an instant favorite. I love being able to use fresh veggies in a meal and that is why I especially love a good stir fry. It is a complete meal all made in one pan. I also added zucchini into this meal and everything came together perfectly.

The glaze on top of this chicken is absolutely perfect! The sauce thickened up and coated the chicken so well. The flavor was unreal! My hubby said this was one of the best things that I have made. I can’t wait for you to try it!
