1	cup	chicken broth
2	tablespoons	cornstarch
2	tablespoons	soy sauce
2	pounds	chicken breasts	skinned
4	x	vegetable oil	tbl - approx.

Directions

Mix the cornstarch with chicken broth and set aside.

Cut skinned and boned chicken into matchstick-size pieces. Combine the ingredients for the 'chicken mixture' ( cornstarch, soy, and chicken). Mix well to coat chicken thoroughly; set aside.

Place wok in high heat. When wok is hot, add 2 TBL of the oil. When oil is hot, add chicken mixture. Stir fry until chicken is opaque (about 3 minutes). Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.

Add remaining 2 TBL oil to the wok. When oil is hot, add celery, beans, carrot, and garlic. Stir fry 1 minute. Add water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes or until veggies are just tender-crisp.

Return chicken and chicken broth mixture to pan. Stir until liquid boils and thickens (about 1 minute). Stir in most of the cashews. Garnish with the remaining cashews.

To enhance flavors I increased soy sauce from 2 to 4 tblspns. Instead of fresh green beans I used fresh broccoli & 2 onions & not just one.

Carol's Favorite Vegetarian Chili

Great recipe! I was surprised at the consistency.. I didn't think it would be chili like, but the mashed beans made all the difference! I did add about 1/2c water while cooking and I add water every time I reheat. Excellent!
