I then ran into the problem with the brown sugar needed for the sauce, this is not Paleo...now what to do... Then I stumbled across coconut sugar. After researching all it is is processed coconut flesh to be very fine. It's pretty delicious too, and it reminds me of brown sugar! Perfect!! Alright enough blabbing, here we go!
Crock Pot Cashew Chicken
2 chicken breasts, (leave whole)
1-2 cups frozen broccoli
1 cup carrots, chopped into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup cashews
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup gluten free soy sauce
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 Tablespoons ketchup (try to get sugar free for paleo)
1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
Layer chicken, and vegetables in the crockpot
Combine remaining ingredients except water and cashews, and pour over chicken in crockpot
Add water or broth if necessary so that the chicken and veggies are almost completely covered
Cook for 5 hrs on low
Take the chicken out and dice into bite sized pieces, throw back in the crock pot and add the cashews and cook for another hour on low.
You can enjoy this on rice if you are not Paleo, or if you are Paleo you can do riced cauliflower (which is pretty amazing). Best part of cooking the meal...ENJOY
Looks great, I will be making this sometime this week. I am always looking for new ideas so this will be perfect. I will be checking back often since you are such a good cook, and I always do the same thing!
