directions
- Stir together marinade ingredients.
- Add chicken.
- Let sit for 1 to several hours.
- Flour chicken well.
- Stir together eggs, milk,salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken pieces in egg mixture, then roll in flour again.
- The flour/egg/flour process can be messy but its important.
- Fortunately, it doesn't have to be precise.
- Try shaking the chicken in a bag or using a big fork to stir it all around.
- The chicken can and probably should sit in the flour and/or egg for a few minutes while the sauce and rice are started.
- Make sauce by combining all the ingredients together and heat to boiling.
- Thicken with cornstarch.
- I do this by putting about 1/4 c cornstarch in a cup, then stirring in 1-2 tablespoons of sauce at a time into the cornstarch.
- When it is smooth and pourable, I whisk it into the boiling sauce.
- Allow to cook while frying the chicken.
- Fry chicken pieces in oil.
- Serve chicken over rice, cover with sauce, and garnish with onions and cashews.

Blueberry, no where in the states do they cook and serve cashew chicken like they do in southwest mo. This was very very good. Just like back home. My husband is from spfld. Anyplace else it comes in a sauce loaded with sauteed veggies nothing like what he's used to getting back there. This will be a frequent visitor at our table. Thank you for posting.

I miss Springfield Cashew Chicken. Whenever I go back to visit family and friends I hit both my favorite Cashew Chicken places. This recipe makes good cashew chicken. It is also much cheaper than plane tixs to get my own. I try to minimize salt by using low sodium everything. I have even used frozen popcorn chicken and had great results. Cuts back on the prep time. Yummy stuff!

I've been enjoying recipezaar for awhile now and have added many new recipes to my list of family favorites. I'm newly single and have four young children, so I look for fast, easy, kid friendly stuff. But I enjoy cooking and like to show off a little now and then, too.
