This Chinese-American dish is full of nutty flavor thanks to a healthy helping of cashews! This cashew chicken is made easy in your slow cooker, and tastes just like the yummy take-out you are used to! In fact, with that beautiful brown coating you’ll probably never go back to take-out again!
The sauce thickens up as it cooks and the chicken gets a good browning before being placed in the crock pot. Once you try this dish you’ll be putting in on repeat week after week! Experiment with the seasoning to make this spicier or milder, just the way you like it. This recipe serves 4-6 and is cooked on low for 3-4 hours.
