Calories 222kcal

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins, cut into 1½ inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the water, cornstarch, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce. Set aside.
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil until hot. Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked all the way through.
Turn the heat down to medium and add the rice vinegar; cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds.
Add the sauce mixture to the chicken; cook, tossing until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is nicely thickened about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the scallion greens, cashews, and sesame oil. Serve immediately.
