Orange Chicken & Cashews and an Instagram Giveaway

November 16, 2020 By Ann Marie Scheidler 2 Comments

It’s getting to be that time of the year when we’ll be spending more hours in our kitchens with likely more mouths to feed. That’s why this seems like a great week to do a giveaway!

My dear friend @sincerelysarameadows and I have teamed up on an amazing foodie giveaway, partnering with two incredible small businesses @zenofslowcooking and @leisurelaneco. You can enter on Instagram to win a variety of Zen of Slow Cooking spice packets that will transform your home cooking using easy, delicious recipes; a beautiful striped linen apron from Leisure Lane; and an Instant Pot to help you create meals in a fraction of the time. Head on over to my Instagram page for details to enter.

Today, I’m sharing a recipe I made for my family using some Zen spices. Think tender chicken thighs coated in a sweet, savory, and tangy orange sauce that’s dusted with cashews–delish!

What You Need

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6-8 chicken thighs; bone-in skin on
  • 1 1/2 cups (1 medium) onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon (2 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 2 oranges, zested & juiced
  • 1 Coq au Vin Zen of Slow Cooking blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup of the orange juice blended with 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup raw cashew nuts
  • 4 cups long grain brown rice, cooked (or 2 cups uncooked if using oven cook method)
  • Steamed green beans

What You Do

  1.  Heat the oil in a skillet on medium; brown the chicken for 3 minutes; transfer the chicken to the cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, gently sauté onion for 2 minutes; stir in garlic and turn off heat.
  3. Transfer onion mixture to cooker and stir in orange zest, Coq au Vin blend, salt, blended orange and cornstarch, soy sauce, vegetable broth, and cashew nuts.
  4. Stir, cover, and cook on LOW: 7-8 hours or HIGH: 3 hours.
  5. Serve over brown rice with steamed green beans.

Enjoy! And don’t forget to enter the giveaway. You have until Thursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. CT to enter to win.

When I picked up Grace from college the week befor When I picked up Grace from college the week before Thanksgiving, I could tell she was worried that her time at home was going to be forever. But after buying her own car, working at lululemon, and a couple of visits with her very cute boyfriend--she's heading back to school next week. While I always hate to see her go, a college campus is where she needs to be.⁣
⁣
But I couldn't let Grace leave us without making at least one of her healthy dinners. Last night, she treated us to these dairy-free, paleo spaghetti squash lasagna boats inspired by Rachl Mansfield that she says were super easy to make. Today on the blog, I share this recipe with you!⁣

Have your kiddos returned to college yet?⁣

Happy Monday! ❌⭕️⁣

I feel like the struggle to get back into a routin I feel like the struggle to get back into a routine in 2021 has been really hard, but what keeps me sane is to knock out my "chores" on the weekend so that I can pivot in whatever direction the upcoming week needs me to go. Today on the blog, I share the three things I do every weekend to start the week strong. Happy Sunday! ❌⭕️⁣

Until then, I've posted a few Friday favorites on the blog today. I hope this post gives you some fun to look forward to as we head into the weekend. Happy Friday! ❌⭕️⁣
