Note: The amount of liquid/sauce this recipe creates is rather spartan for serving with rice (in my opinion). I'm considering doubling or tripling all amounts except the soy sauce which I'll supplement with water.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup cashews

Preparation

Combine flour and pepper in resealable food storage bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture.

Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker.

Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken.

Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir.

Serve over rice.
