Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Cashews

There’s something about a chicken and broccoli stir-fry that screams “Chinese take-out! “ But given that this is a healthier and tastier recipe than your standard MSG-fest, let’s call it “Chinese take-in.” The slightly higher fat content in dark meat makes for a flavorful, moist dish, so people with throat or mouth issues may find it a lot easier to chew and swallow. (That said, you can substitute an equivalent amount of breast meat if you like.) The sauce is thickened with kudzu root, a phenomenal anticancer plant, which is a lot more desirable than the cornstarch of questionable quality found in most carry-out fare. Plus, the blend of tamari, lime juice, ginger, and maple syrup in the sauce is so delicious that you’ll be able to take that Chinese restaurant off the speed dial.
