One Pan Cashew Chicken (W30/paleo)

My husband loves going out for Chinese food but since we are trying to eat a little more healthy, we rarely go to restaurants.  Too many unknowns floating around on the plate!  And since I like to recreate some of our favorite dishes using Whole 30 compliant foods so that we aren't AS tempted to jump off the wagon, I decided to make my own version of Cashew Chicken. 

Despite its bland appearance, this dish was delicious.

A note about fresh ginger.  I didn't think I liked it.  But I was wrong!  I actually do like the flavor, I just don't like biting into bits of it in my food, so I tried a trick I learned from Rachel Ray... Shave it on a Microplane!  I went one step further to make it even easier to shave... Freeze it first!  I buy a small hand of ginger, peel it, cut it into 1-inch chunks and freeze in an airtight container.  This is so much easier than grating it fresh, but it retains all the flavor.  Win/win!

Eating healthy does not mean eating bland, boring food anymore.  It can get a little tedious, yes, but we never regret staying on plan.  Not once!
