Cashew Chicken in the Air Fryer

Ingredients

Regarding the Chicken

1. Chicken
2. One pound of skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3. One scrambled egg
4. 1/4 cup of corn starch
5. Regarding the Sauce
6. 1/4 cup of water
7. Two teaspoons of corn starch
8. 1/4 cup of cashews
9. One-third cup of hoisin sauce
10. One tablespoon of rice vinegar
11. One minced garlic clove
12. One tablespoon of sesame oil
13. Two tablespoons of brown sugar
14. Two tablespoons of corn starch
15. Two tablespoons of water
16. 1/4 cup of small-crowned broccoli
17. Half a bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch chunks
18. Two diced green onions
19. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).

Directions

• Set the air fryer’s temperature to 375°F.
• Slice the thighs of chicken into 1-inch chunks.
• Season chicken thighs with salt & pepper. Dredge in corn starch after adding an egg. Make sure the chicken is completely covered.
• Apply cooking spray to the Air Fryer and cook for 10 minutes, rotating it halfway through. When the chicken is at least 165 degrees inside and crispy on the outside, remove it.
• Broccoli should be cut into little crowns. Slice the red bell pepper into 1-inch segments.
• Broccoli, red bell pepper, water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cashews, and brown sugar should all be combined in a saucepan while the chicken cooks. Cook for five minutes.
• Add water, corn starch, and garlic five minutes later. Cook for an additional five minutes on low heat.
• Add the chicken, veggies, and sauce to a skillet.
• If preferred, top with sesame seeds and green onions and serve over white rice.
