Thai Chicken & Cashews image

One of our favorite recipes - I found it on worldwiderecipes.com back in 1998. It is fairly easy and fast to make - the largest amount of time is in the prep work of chopping, as is the case of most stir-fries. Adjust the spiciness by the number of chili peppers - I have used up to 9. I love using jasmine rice, cut the chicken while partially frozen, and try to pick the chili peppers out before serving (in interest of my 19mo old).

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to make and the flavor is out of this world. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too thick. I won't be making this recipe again.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I love this recipe! The chicken is always so tender and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually add a little extra spice to mine, but that's just personal preference.
