Preparation
Step 1
1. Combine flour and pepper in resealable food storage bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture.
2. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side.
3. Place chicken in slow cooker.
4. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken.
5. Cook on Low for 3 to 4 hours.
6. Before serving steam some veggies and throw into crock pot and stir.
7. Add cashews and stir.
8. Serve with rice.
If you don’t have a Crock Pot, or actually want to cook this as a Stir Fry on the stove top, you can totally do that too with this same recipe! Simply follow the same directions without adding things to the Crock Pot.
After cooking the chicken, so that it is browned throw the sauce over the chicken and simmer it for a couple of minutes. Then pull it off of the stove and set it aside.
Then stir fry your veggies in a Tablespoon of oil on the stove top in a large skillet pan or Stir Fry pan. When they are finished (soft and easy to pierce with a fork) mix the chicken and sauce mixture into the veggies and serve over rice immediately.
