| 2 | teaspoons | cornstarch | |
| 1 | cup | chicken broth | |
| 2 | tablespoons | cornstarch | |
| 2 | tablespoons | soy sauce | |
| 2 | pounds | chicken breasts | skinned |
| 4 | x | vegetable oil | tbl - approx. |
| 2 | each | celery stalks | thinly sliced |
| 2 | pounds | green beans | 1/2 inch slices |
| 2 | each | carrot | 1/4 inch slices |
| 1 | each | onion | small, 1/4 inch slices |
| 2 | each | garlic clove | minced/pressed |
| 4 | tablespoons | water | |
| 2/3 | cups | cashew nuts | roasted |
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.

General:Basil is a bright green, leafy plant, Ocimum basilicum, which is in the mint family....
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.
