Preparation

Step 1

*In a bag, combine the black pepper and flour. Add the chicken and jostle the bag to coat the meat.

*In a skillet, cook the chicken for a few minutes on medium-high heat.

*In a bowl, combine all other ingredients (except for the green parts of the onion and cashews)

*Put the chicken and sauce into a crockpot. Stir in the cashews.

*Cook on low for 2-3 hours.

*Add the remaining green onion when serving.

You could eat this right out of a bowl, with endive or lettuce cups, or over “riced” cauliflower.
