Leaine's Cashew Nut Chicken

One of my best Chinese dishes is a simple Cashew Nut Chicken. I haven't had Chinese for ages because the sauces that they use without a doubt all contain yeast :(

So, I just had to attempt my own.

Cashew nuts contain fat, but it is the healthy kind and have many benefits - they contain iron, essential for our red bloods cells, magnesium for energy and zinc for good digestion and metabolism.
