- * 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- * 1/2 cup dry-roasted cashews, unsalted
- * 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Directions
1. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.2. Combine chicken and next 3 ingredients in a bowl; toss to coat.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola and sesame oils. Add chicken mixture, and sauté for 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Increase heat to high, and add broccoli and the next 4 ingredients (through red bell pepper). Cook 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and chicken is done, stirring frequently.
