Ingredients

2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped ginger root
3 medium-sized cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cup broccoli florets
2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
20 roasted unsalted cashews, chopped roughly

Directions

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon of the sesame oil, ginger, and garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Add the chicken and stir-fry until starting to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Add the remaining vegetable oil, sweet red pepper, and broccoli to the same skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet, pour in the soy sauce and cook until the chicken is cooked through, stirring, about 2 more minutes. Toss with the remaining sesame oil. Top with the cashews and serve.
