Cashew Chicken

Since The Hubby has taken a turn for the better regarding Asian cuisine (still can't get him to like sushi, but he has tried it!), I'm taking full advantage of it.  This has nuts in it, and The Hubby is nuts for nuts!  I was obsessed with the sauce from this recipe.  I kid you not, I took the leftover sauce (no chicken) with the leftover rice and veggies for lunch the next day (even minus the nuts because The Hubby ate them all).  Seriously delicious!
