Honey Cashew Chicken

A healthy, delicious, and easy stir-fry that is our go-to meal when Laura visits. The chicken and veggies can be chopped ahead of time, which makes assembly and cooking a snap. I usually make brown rice to go with it, since I’m all healthy like that. From Cooking Light, June 2012. – Terry
