This is one of my favourite dinner recipes as it takes only 30 mins to prepare and has an amazing taste! 🥰. You can serve it over rice, noodles, vermicelli, or with a salad if you prefer a lower carb option. My fiancé loves this recipe and each time I ask him “Cashew chicken for dinner?”, I receive a big “YES” as an answer. 😂
It is definitely a must try recipe for those who want to prepare a delicious dinner, but don’t have much time and energy after coming home from work. 😋

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
