Sticky Cashew Chicken

A quick, high-protein dinner packed with flavour, colourful veg and plenty of crunch. Perfect for a midweek meal.

Serves 4

Ingredients

* 600g chicken breast, sliced
* 250g basmati rice, dry
* 2 peppers, sliced
* 1 red onion, sliced
* 3 spring onions, chopped
* 80g cashew nuts
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
* 1 tbsp olive or sesame oil

For the sauce:

* 4 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
* 2 tbsp honey
* 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
* 1 tbsp rice vinegar
* 1 tsp sesame oil
* 1 tsp cornflour
* 2 tbsp water

Method

1. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
2. Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
3. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. Add the peppers and red onion and stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes, keeping a little crunch in the veg.
5. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30–60 seconds.
6. Pour in the sauce and add the cashews. Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce becomes sticky and coats the chicken.
7. Serve with the rice and finish with plenty of chopped spring onion.

Tip: Add extra veg such as broccoli, mange tout or mushrooms to bulk it out even further.

Balance beats perfection. You don’t need to eliminate processed foods. You need a healthy diet you can actually stick to.

Great to be part of the incredible retreat at Deerstone this weekend, delivering a workshop on how nutrition can support energy, stress management, and long-term wellbeing.

We explored practical, evidence-based strategies that people can take away and apply in everyday life, because feeling your best isn’t about perfection—it’s about building consistent habits that support your body and mind.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and brought such great engagement throughout the session.

Thinking about a workshop for your club, business or secondary school, message us “Workshop” to find out more.
