Crockpot Cashew Chicken

I am obsessed with this Crockpot Cashew Chicken! This tender and nutty dish is made with a sweet and savory sauce of red bell pepper and cashews. Skip the Chinese take out and make this favorite right at home in your slow cooker!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Coat your chicken pieces in cornstarch. Heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken quickly in the pan.  We are not looking to cook the chicken through, just get a little color on each side.
  • Place the browned chicken in the slow cooker. Add the chopped red bell pepper. In a mixing bowl combine the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, pepper, ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken. Add the cashews and stir everything to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours. Garnish with the scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve over rice.
