Garlic Cashew Chicken with Sauteed Veggies and Quinoa

Ingredients:
2TBSP fresh garlic (or minced garlic from a jar)
2 TBSP butter (I use Earth Balance Vegan Butter)
2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
1 Individual package of Cashews (can be salted or unsalted, whole or pieces)
1 small yellow pepper, cut into small cube pieces
1 small red pepper, cut into small cube pieces
1/4c mushrooms chopped
1/4c onions, chopped
green onions chopped
1 lb chicken, cubed and cooked
1 cup Quinoa cooked according to package (you can also use rice)

1. Cook quinoa according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, saute peppers, mushrooms, onions, green onions, garlic and cashews in EVOO.
3. Remove veggies from pan and set aside. Thoroughly cook the chicken in the same pan using cooking spray or EVOO (whatever you choose)
4. Once the chicken is cooked, add the veggies back into the pan. Add in the butter and simmer until the butter is melted.
5. Mix with Quinoa.

***Sometimes I add sweet and sour sauce to mine or a little bit of soy sauce...depends on my mood.
