Stir fry moves quickly once you begin!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook the Chicken:<\/strong><br>Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5\u20136 minutes). Remove and set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 the Veggies:<\/strong><br>In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil.

Pour the garlic sauce over everything and toss well to coat evenly. Cook for another 2\u20133 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings beautifully to the chicken and veggies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve and Enjoy:<\/strong><br>Sprinkle with cashews for crunch, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf3f Pro Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t overcook the veggies \u2014 a little crunch makes it perfect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Want it spicy?
