Instructions: In an 8-inch square pyrex dish, combine the oil, garlic, hoisin, juice and spice. Add chicken pieces; stir to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or more..

Cook the rice and the broccoli.

Cover the chicken dish, vent. Cook on full powder until chicken has cooked through, about 6 minutes, turning every 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, warm the chopped cashews in a small saute pan or skillet. When the chicken is done, drain the pans juices into the pan with the cashews. Add the broccoli to the chicken; toss and cover. Mix the soy sauce with the cornstarch. Heat the juices in the pan and thicken with the cornstarch, adding water to thin to a glaze consistency. Season with pepper. Pour sauce over the chicken-broccoli mixture. Top with cilantro. Serve the dish on rice with orange slices.

Description: "Chicken in hoisin-cashew sauce, tossed with cooked broccoli; served on rice"

NOTES : Review -The mixture of flavors - basmati, hoisin, 5-spice and cilantro - makes this dish.

This recipe is definitely worth trying. I think the squeaky texture of microwaved chicken is unavoidable. To not heat up the kitchen in the summer time, the rice and broccoli would have to be prepared ahead of time. The orange was a big plus. It made the dish very attractive, and the succulent sweetness contrasted nicely with the Asian spices.

We tested this tonight for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. The texture wasnt that rubbery. Very aromatic.
