Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
pinch of red pepper flakes
4 cups broccoli florets
3 stalks celery, sliced diagonally

Steps:

For sauce, whisk together chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey and red pepper in a small bowl. Set aside. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 garlic clove, and all the chicken. Cook and stir 6-7 minutes until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from skillet, but keep warm. Reduce heat to medium-high. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in same skillet. Add broccoli, celery and remaining ginger and garlic. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Add green onions and cook for another 2 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Return chicken to skillet and stir in sauce. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and small saucepan. Break ramen noodles and add to boiling water (discard seasoning packets or reserve for another use). Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and stir into chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cashews. Serve immediately.
