Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Spread the brown rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Layer the diced celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper on top of the rice. Arrange the chicken pieces evenly over the vegetables. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the water, gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Pour this flavorful mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the casserole dish. Distribute the drained water chestnuts evenly over the top. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and sprinkle the cashews evenly over the top. (Cook time: 45 minutes)

05

Step

Return the casserole dish to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cashews are lightly browned and toasted. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

06

Step

Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken in the soy sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before assembling the casserole.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets or sliced carrots, based on your preference and what you have on hand.
If you prefer a softer cashew, add them during the last 20 minutes of baking instead of the last 10.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
