1

Use a kitchen towel to wipe around a frying pan with avocado or olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring the chicken as needed. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and set it aside.

2

Drizzle a tablespoon of olive or avocado oil to the frying pan and add the onion, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots and mushrooms. Cook the vegetables until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3

In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, chicken stock, honey, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and cornflour. Set aside.

4

Once the veggies are tender, add the chicken back to the pan and mix them together. Add in the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, then add in cashews and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top. Mix well, making sure everything is coated, and bring the sauce to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and everything is mixed together.

5

Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with brown rice or cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
