Spicy Thai Chicken with Bell Peppers and Cashews

I don’t think I will make this with fresh basil next time, as I thought
it was a bit too over powering. Perhaps I just don’t like basil?

INGREDIENTS

2 Chicken breasts (boneless/skinless)
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
3 large garlic cloves (I just mince them with the garlic press), or you can finely chop them

1/8 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
¾ tsp dried crushed red pepper
1 handful of baby spinach leaves
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup lightly salted cashews

DIRECTIONS
  1. Heat oil in pan over high heat.
  2. Add your cooked chopped chicken breasts (into cubes or strips)
  3. Add bell peppers, ginger, and garlic
  4. Sauté until peppers just begin to soften, about 2 minutes
  5. Add the soy sauce, lime juice and red pepper flakes
  6. Toss to blend, about 1 minute
  7. Add spinach in 3 additions, tossing until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute for each addition.
  8. Mix in basil. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cashews over entire dish.
  9. Serve with basmati rice!
