Crock Pot Cashew Chicken recipe

Posted by a friend on FB:

This is better than most Chinese takeout cashew chicken. Throw it all in the slow cooker and have a delicious, no-fuss dinner!

Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thigh tenders or chicken breast tenders
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup cashews

Directions:
Combine flour and pepper in a large Ziploc bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side.

Place chicken in a slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir. Serve over rice.

If you want like sauce and want to have some to pour over the chicken and the rice, double the sauce ingredients.
Makes 4-6 servings.
