Sweet chicken cashew slow cooker; a sweet chicken marinade with tender chicken and cashew nuts

It doesn't get much better than this. The marinade I used with this slow cooker chicken cashew looks a bit like the spareribs marinade, but it's not! So it's better to follow the recipe for this chicken with cashew nuts if you want to eat just as delicious as we did. Prefer a different slow cooker recipe? No problem, I have a lot of delicious slow cooker recipes for you!

Don't have a slow cooker yet? These slow cookers are great.

Making the sweet chicken cashew in the slow cooker

I prefer to prepare chicken in the slow cooker these days. This way the chicken is well cooked, but it also remains wonderfully tender without drying out. This is how you make this cashew chicken from the slow cooker:

• For the marinade, mix all ingredients for the chicken cashew in a bowl. Stir well
• Clean the chicken breast and cut it into pieces of a few centimeters. Mix the corn and ground pepper and sprinkle this over the chicken breast pieces

• Heat a little oil in the pan and fry the chicken gently
• Put the chicken in the slow cooker
• Add the sweet chicken cashew marinade and stir briefly
• add the small pepper (remove before serving)
• Lid the slow cooker and set the slow cooker to low for at least 4 hours

Making the chicken with cashew nuts in the wok

Don't have a slow cooker? Buy one 😉 . It is my best purchase ever in the kitchen. But besides that… you can of course also make that delicious recipe in the pan. I would let the chicken marinate for an hour in your marinade first. Then let it simmer gently in the pan until the chicken is cooked through. While the beans and rice are cooking and you're done.

Here too, you only add the cashew nuts at the very end.

Serve the sweet chicken cashew from the slow cooker with:

• For example rice and beans
• Don't forget the cashew nuts before serving by stirring the chicken cashew

Enjoy your meal!

Oh yeah… pssst… this is what my countertop looks like when I'm cooking. Can you do something about that too, or are you a very clean cooker?
