Dinners at my house are often prepared during the day when the kids are at kindy or school. However, if I don't get time and have to manage it when both are at home with me then it must be something that's quick, easy or set and forget!
This dish was one of those ‘I need dinner now' recipes and after receiving lovely feedback from my recipe testing team on it I thought I best share it for any one else looking for that easy but delicious meal.
Ingredients
185g (1 large) brown onion, peeled and halved
3 large garlic cloves, peeled
20g ginger, peeled
80g tamari

950g chicken breast, thigh or tenderloins, diced
1 tsp salt or to taste
1 tsp pepper or to taste
600g vegetables such as: broccoli, pumpkin, carrot and cauliflower, roughly chopped
250g liquid stock
200g of extra vegetables with less cooking time such as: asparagus and snow peas, roughly chopped
6 springs coriander, roughly chopped
60g whole raw, salted or roasted cashews
Steps

6. Add chicken mixture to pan and cook for 5 minutes until starting to cook through. Stir occasionally.
7. Add hard vegetables (600g) and stock (250g) and simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked through to your liking.
8. Add any remaining vegetables (200g) for a further 2 minutes to keep a bit of crunch.

Notes
- You could add some chilli in step 2 and/or coconut cream in step 7 in this recipe.

- You can use soy sauce instead of tamari if prefered.
