Ingredients

For the sauce:

4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
3 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

For the cashew chicken and peppers:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into small chunks
1 large red bell pepper
1 large yellow bell pepper
1 cup raw cashews
3 to 4 ounces organicgirl PEPPERGREENS*
2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce; set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the peppers and cook for 5 additional minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the cashews, greens and sauce and cook for 2 or 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the greens are wilted. Serve immediately over white or brown rice.

Notes

*Use 3 or 4 ounces of greens, depending on your taste. The greens cook down a lot so I like to add the full amount.
