Cashew-Lime Chicken with Rice

This is an easy, quick-to-prepare, flavorful dish! You can add broccoli florets at the end while it simmers to make dinner even easier.

• 1 cup basmati or jasmine rice
• 2 teaspoons peanut oil
• 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-1/4 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepepr
• 1-1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
• 1 cup salted dry-roasted cashews

1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and stir to coat.

2. Add the broth, hoisin, lime juice, and zest and bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Chop the cashews. Serve the chicken mixture over rice and top with cashews.
