Cashew Chicken (From My Great Recipe Cards)
"This is an elegant, yet inexpensive, company dish, especially if you have learned to bone chicken breasts yourself. Salted sunflower nuts can be substituted for the cashew nuts, if desired.
I have not yet made this recipe. I posted it as a request from another ZMember.
*Note, cooking time does not include marinating time."

I have made this recipe several times! I grew up looking at these cards from the huge box of my mom's. Almost all my family's trademark meals have originated from theses cards! We have many of the cards but not the complete set, I wish they were still being made.
