How To Make Keto Cashew Chicken
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound of chicken breast cut into chunks (can also use thighs)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tsp avocado oil
1 green pepper cut into chunks

3 tablespoons of Liquid Aminos
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Directions:
In a bowl add sauce ingredients (chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper to taste). Set aside.
Heat skillet (I use this skillet) on low-medium heat and toast cashews until lightly brown and set aside.
Add avocado oil and increase heat to high and add chicken and cook through.
Now, throw in the pepper, onion, and the sauce mixture and cook on high for about 5 minutes.
Next, you’ll add the liquid aminos, cashews, and rice wine vinegar into pan. Cook until sauce has thickened.
Top with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve!
