Making Szechuan Chicken with Cashew Nuts - You'll Love the Surprising Addition to the Fried Rice!
This Szechuan chicken is a spicy stir fry made with tender pieces of chicken and colorful vegetables, all tossed in a sweet and savory sauce. A classic Chinese style dish that tastes just as good as what you’d get at a restaurant!
I’m always making our favorite
This recipe starts with pieces of chicken breast that are coated in corn starch and seasonings, then pan fried until crisp. Remove the chicken from the pan, then add in vegetables, red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, and let it simmer until thickened. Serve immediately over rice and enjoy.
Szechuan chicken will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days which makes this a great dish for meal prep.
I recommend serving your stir fry over steamed rice to help temper the heat. Other options include quinoa, noodles or cauliflower rice.
FLAVOR VARIATIONS
This dish is great as-is, but you can also change up the ingredients to customize it to your tastes.
Vegetables: While bell peppers are commonly found in this dish.
Nuts: Some versions of Szechuan chicken contain peanuts. Cashews or almonds
would also be a good choice.
Szechuan chicken served over steamed rice in a bowl.
You can’t go wrong with the sweet and spicy flavors of this classic recipe. Next time you’re craving Chinese food, skip the take out and make it at home!

BEST Chinese Cashew Chicken Stir Fry Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced bell pepper
2 stalks chopped celery
1 cup chopped snow peas
1 cup toasted cashew nuts
4-5 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp. minced ginger
chopped garden onion
oil
MARINADE:
1 pound thin sliced boneless chicken breast or thighs
1 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 egg white
2 tbsp. cornstarch
*Combine above ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
In a large sauce pan bring water to a low simmer.
Add chicken pieces and do not overcrowd. I did my chicken in two batches.
Give a light stir once or twice while cooking.
This will take about 3-4 minutes before the chicken is done. You will see the chicken start to float to the top. Once done remove from the pan and set to the side.
SAUCE:
1/2 cup water or broth
2 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tbsp. hoison sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. cornstarch
*Mix above ingredients
In a medium high heat wok or skillet add oil, minced garlic and ginger.
Cook and stir for 20-30 seconds.
Add onions, bell peppers and celery. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.
Add snow peas, cook and stir for one minute.
Add toasted cashews and chicken, stir to combine.
Pour over sauce. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until sauce thickens and everything is combined.
Serve and enjoy.
