Enjoy this easy but oh so tasty sheet pan dinner – cashew chicken recipe with vegetables.

I love an easy but oh so tasty meal and even better if I don’t have to use more than one pot or pan. This easy sheet pan dinner – cashew chicken is perfect for this busy month of September when the kids are just going back to school here. I love that I can add whatever vegetables we have on hand and the nutty cashew flavour with chicken is simply scrumptious.

On top of the kids going back to school this month, September is also National Chicken Month here in Canada. It’s a time to celebrate farmers and their hard work and dedication to farming and to Canadian consumers for the entire month.  Chicken is Canada’s #1 protein choice and so to celebrate chicken this month Chicken Farmers of Canada has some exciting contests and more going on! One of the many reasons we love chicken is that it’s so versatile; so many delicious ways to eat it, so little time. Like our sheet pan dinner of cashew chicken. Bonus: not only is it yummy but it’s also great for your health – with a great mix of lean protein and healthy fats. It’s no wonder it’s Canadian’s favourite protein. We also always buy and consume chicken raised by a Canadian Chicken Farmer. Canadian chicken farming delivers against Canadians’ high expectations for the food they serve to their families. 89% of Canadians trust Canadian farmers – so let’s take this month to celebrate them!

Before I share more on how amazing Chicken farmers across Canada are and how it impacts Canada and Canadians let’s share this yummy sheet pan dinner – cashew chicken shall we?

Ingredients

Instructions

Sauce:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the canola oil, followed by the garlic. Whisk gently until fragrant, around 1 minute, then add the remaining sauce ingredients and whisk gently until lightly thickened and smooth, around 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Cashew Chicken:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray and set aside.

Add the cubed chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Add ⅓ of the sauce to the bowl and toss gently to coat the chicken. Turn out onto the sheet pan and spread into a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven.

In a separate large bowl, add the vegetables and cashews. Add the second ⅓ of sauce and toss gently to coat. Turn out onto the sheet pan with the chicken and spread out into a single layer, tucking between and around the chicken. Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of salt and black pepper, then back for 8-12 minutes, or until juices run clear. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining ⅓ of sauce, then serve with brown or white rice. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don’t want all the heat of the sriracha you can substitute with a sweet chili sauce for a bit of heat and a bit of sweet. Feel free to substitute with your favourite veggies that you might use in a stir fry.
