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.
