Sheet Pan Cashew Chicken

mains recipes May 29, 2023

It’s not news that I love a good sheet pan meal, and these recipes are some of the most frequently requested from y’all as well! Clean up is a breeze, minimal preparation is required and your meal prep for the week is taken care of…what more could you need?

And for this recipe, I took a cue from some of my favorite Asian flavors that simply always hit the spot. If you love this cuisine as much as I do, also be sure to check out my:

If you can’t tell, I love making my own version of takeout favorites (like my “Takeout” Tempeh & Broccoli), and Cashew Chicken is simply a must. And here I loaded it up with veggies and a flavorful sauce, so it truly has all you could need.

Not only do cashews add great flavor and texture to this meal, but they also provide some great health benefits. Cashews are rich in protein, healthy fats and antioxidants such as polyphenols to help reduce cholesterol, prevent heart disease and stroke and strengthen bones. And they’re just such a tasty addition to most any dish!

In addition, broccoli and red bell peppers are two of my personal favorite additions to Asian dishes (and just as veggies in general).

Broccoli is packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help reduce inflammation, protect against cancer, support heart health and more! Meanwhile, red peppers are extremely hydrating and one of the richest dietary sources of vitamin C.

Throw these staples together with your chicken breasts (can omit or sub for tofu or tempeh for a vegan option) with the tasty Asian sauce, and that’s it! Bake it all up, and let the oven do all of the work for you.

But don’t stop here! Other simple sheet pan meals to add to your repertoire are just a click away:

I can’t tell y’all how much I enjoyed this recipe, and I hope you do as well!
