Here are some tips for making Thai cashew chicken:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from browning properly.
- If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar instead. Just be sure to add a little less, as brown sugar has a stronger flavor.
- You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as carrots, broccoli, or peppers.
- Serve the Thai cashew chicken with a side of rice or noodles.
