Slow-Cooked Cashew Chicken image

I make this cashew chicken in my Fagor® Multi-Functional Cooker where it cooks in about 2 hours (mine runs hot), but you could also make it in a traditional slow cooker; just allow a longer cook time.

The sauce was too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
