Cashew Chicken

2 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce (optional)

1 can (6 oz) sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and drained

10 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 x 1/2-inch pieces

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp dry white wine

1 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

1 tsp vegetable oil

6 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

2 cups sliced mushrooms

1 red or green bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 cups hot, cooked white rice

1/4 cup roasted cashews

Place chicken in large resealable plastic food storage bag.  Combine cornstarch, wine, soy sauce, and garlic powder in small bowl; whisk until well blended.  Pour over chicken pieces.  Seal bag; toss to coat.  Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.  Drain chicken; discard marinade.

Heat oil in wok or large non-stick skillet until hot.  Add onions; stir-fry 1 minute.  Add chicken; stir-fry 2 minutes or until browned.  Add mushrooms, pepper, and water chestnuts; stir-fry 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and chicken is no longer pink in center.  Stir in hoisin sauce; cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through.

Serve chicken and vegetables over rice.  Top each serving evenly with cashews.

Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.
