5 from 1 vote
Quick and easy Mango Cashew Chicken hits the spot when you're craving takeout! Flavorful, sweet and savory.

Ingredients​

For the Sauce:​

• ▢1/3 cup coconut aminos*
• ▢Zest of 1 orange
• ▢1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• ▢1 Tbsp unsweetened creamy almond butter
• ▢1 tsp sriracha to taste

Mango Cashew Chicken:​

• ▢2 Tbsp avocado oil
• ▢1 cup chopped yellow onion
• ▢1 large carrot chopped
• ▢1 green or red bell pepper chopped
• ▢4 cloves garlic minced
• ▢1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
• ▢1 1/2 cups fresh mango chopped
• ▢1 cup raw cashews

Instructions​

• In a small bowl, stir together the coconut aminos, orange zest, maple syrup, almond butter, and chili garlic sauce until well combined. Set aside.
• Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet, wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the carrot, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chopped raw chicken and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour in the sauce and continue cooking, stirring frequently, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Add the chopped mango and cashews. Stir well and cook just until heated through.
• Serve the cashew chicken over cauliflower rice.

Notes​

*You can replace aminos with low sodium soy sauce if you're okay with soy and are fine with the recipe not being paleo. If you make this switch, I recommend adding another 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, as coconut aminos have a naturally sweet flavor where liquid aminos are salty.
