½ pound chicken breasts fillet, sliced thinly
½ pound shrimp, peeled & deveined
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup cashews
4 tablespoons cooking oil

INSTRUCTIONS:
Marinate the chicken in salt, rice wine or dry sherry and cornstarch for 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
Roast the cashews in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, shaking the pan so that the nuts don’t burn. Roast until cashews are golden brown. Remove from pan.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok. Stir-fry the chicken slices until cooked through. Remove from wok.
Heat 2 more tablespoons of oil. Saute the garlic. Add the vegetables and stir-fry until crisp tender.
Add the chicken pieces, shrimps and sauce. Continue to stir-fry until shrimps are pink, combining well and heating everything through.
Add the cashew nuts before serving to retain its crunch.
