Slice chicken breast against the grain into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Transfer chicken pieces to a large bowl. Mix in Marinade ingredients and allow this to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
In a large wok or large skillet on medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or any neutral oil. Once the oil is hot, toast cashews until they turn slightly brown, about 30-45 seconds. Remove and set aside.
Back into the hot pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Once oil is hot, fry marinated chicken in a single layer until cooked and slightly golden brown on the edges, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Reduce to medium heat, add remaining oil along with garlic, ginger, broccoli, red bell pepper and lastly water. Cook vegetables until vibrant, about 45-60 seconds.
Pour in Sauce mixture. Simmer to thicken slightly, about 45-60 seconds.
Once sauce has thickened, toss back in cooked chicken and crunchy cashews. Remove the finished dish off heat and serve. Enjoy!
