This Whole30 & Paleo Cashew Chicken is a quick and easy stir fry dinner, perfect on a weeknight! It’s full of flavor and delicious textures.
A good ol’ Asian stir fry is my go-to on weeknights when I need something quick and easy for me and my husband. It’s always fast and so flavorful at the same time. I made this Paleo Cashew Chicken for dinner when I only had chicken breasts on hand for protein. I’m usually not a huge fan of chicken breasts, so I like to add yummy sauces and textures to make them a bit more interesting, and this recipe did just that while adding a ton of flavor to the chicken!
Whole30 & Paleo Cashew Chicken Recipe
I love how there are so many components to this recipe: meaty chicken, crunchy cashews, with crispy bell peppers and green onions, all coated in the most delicious coconut aminos sauce. Best of all, it takes only about 20 minutes to make, and it’s a one pot dish so the clean up is a breeze.
How to Save Even More Time
If you want to save even more time when make this Whole30 & Paleo Cashew Chicken, you can buy pre-toasted cashews. I personally love toasting my own cashews because I think the flavor and the aroma are so much better when you do it yourself, but buying them toasted already will cut down on time and effort In making this dish.
Also, the leftovers will taste amazing and heat up really well, so you can make a double batch on an especially busy week to enjoy for a few days!
