Served this with sticky rice and chow mein noodles and the whole family loved it!

Taking into consideration the previous reviewers suggestion about the broccoli, we put about 2 cups of it into our recipe. It was a very tasty dish with a lot of very nice subtle flavors. The only weird thing is that when it's done cooking, the chicken has the same color/tone as the cashews, but that's only aesthetic. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who's on the wall about making a dish like this; you won't regret it!

Our only real complaint was that the amount of broccoli seemed a bit light. We'd double it next time and then the recipe should be just about right.
