Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • Combine rice, Thai Seasoning, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt in a medium pot.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add chicken, half the cornstarch and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) soy sauce to a large bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

3
Make sauce and toast cashews

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • While the pan heats, combine sweet chili sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining cornstarch and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water in a small bowl.
  • When hot, add cashews to the dry pan.
  • Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden and nutty, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on the cashews so they don't burn.)
  • Transfer to a plate.

4
Brown chicken and cook veggies

  • Return the same pan to medium-high.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. 
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 2-3 min.
  • Add peppers. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 1-2 min.
  • Add bok choy. 
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3-4 min. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.

5
Finish chicken

  • Add chili sauce mixture and garlic to the pan with chicken and veggies.
  • Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, 1-2 min. **
  • Roughly chop cashews.

6
Finish and serve

  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork until butter melts.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
