The rest of the story! :-)

  • Preheat your oven to 400F
  • Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil to help yourself with an easy clean up. Spray with a butter or no flavor cooking spray to avoid sticking.
  • Take your 1 inch cubes of chicken and evenly distribute onto the baking sheet. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • Next, take your broccoli florets and evenly distribute those on the baking sheet.
  • Next, add your red bell pepper strips to the baking sheet.
  • Pour your sauce over the ingredients on the baking sheet. Lightly toss to make sure everything is coated with the sauce.
  • Place in the 400F degree oven and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Pull the tray out of the oven and top with the cashews. Sprinkle with a squeeze of lime or serve on the side.

Serving Suggestions:

  • We normally serve this with white rice. However, try it with cauliflower rice, spaghetti noodles or even "Zoodles" (zucchini noodles)! Whichever way you serve it, it's sure to be tasty!
