Chicken Breast with Cashews

How to prepare chicken breast with cashews

1. I cut the chicken into cubes.
2. In a cup, I mixed the oil, soy sauce, chili, salt and pepper, then poured the marinade over the chicken, mixed it well to coat the chicken and left it in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour (maximum 24 hours).
3. In a small pot, cover the cashews with water and bring to a boil. I didn't add salt because the cashews were already salted. Let them boil for 2 minutes, until foam forms on top. Don't leave them longer, they'll get soft! Drain.
4. I cleaned the mushrooms of their stems and the dark gills around them (so they don't darken the food), then sliced them.
6. In a hot pan (without oil), I put the chicken pieces and fried them until the meat was cooked. I removed the chicken from the pan and kept it warm.
7. In the same pan, I added the onion and fried for 2 minutes until softened, then added the sliced mushrooms and let them cook for another 5 minutes until done. I poured in the remaining marinade from the bowl, then added the chicken cubes and cashews and let it fry for another 2 minutes. Adjust salt, pepper and soy sauce.
8. I served with basmati rice.
