Making Cashew Chicken and Broccoli is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
5. Stir-Fry the Broccoli: In the same pan, add broccoli florets and bell peppers (if using). Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender-crisp.
