Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the chicken breast, bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Measure out the cashew nuts and snow peas.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Add the sliced onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, dried chili, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  4. 4

    Combine with Sauce

    Stir in the chili paste, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cashews

    Finally, add the roasted cashew nuts and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6
