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.

Restaurant quality. Great balance of flavors. A+ for ease of preperation. A nice surprise as I was very unsure how this recipe would turn out as I prepared it even though I thought the flavor combinations sounded good. Don't expect a flavor explosion rather a wonderful melding of flavors that compliment one another. Wonderful.
