Chicken with Cashews
Our Test Kitchen staffers declared that this Chinese-inspired recipe from 1979 beats any take-out meal.

Really enjoyed this quick and easy recipe. We have made it twice in just the past month (great with an Asian-inspired chopped salad for a quick weeknight meal). One recommendation I'd make is to add a Tbsp or two of brown sugar to the sauce at the end...sweetens it just a bit and makes the dish perfect, in my opinion. We also experimented with hoisin on our first attempt, and it wasn't bad but left a bit of a sour aftertaste.
Yummy recipe and good for the whole family, from kids to adults. I added some chopped celery as well. Didn't even need the rice.
Who would have thought??
My wife now things I can cook : - )
Of all the Chicken with Cashews recipes Ive tried, I think this was the best.
Haven't tried the recipe but just want to say two words: Joy Young! The Birmingham restaurant was where I had my first taste of "Chinese" food, and my favorite was cashew chicken. They served it in metal dishes with a dome cover. And of course, chocolate milk - the best thing to go with Chinese food!
