January 27, 2016 by Annie Chesson 40 Comments

Cashew chicken...one of MA FAVES when it comes to Chinese take-out. I love the different textures from the chicken, veggies, water chestnuts, and cashews.

You could say I am quite the expert on Chinese take-out. It is a go-to for Seth and I on lazy ...

The point of this recipe is the sauce. So ...
