Step-by-Step Instructions for Sheet Pan Cashew Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Spread the marinated chicken evenly across the prepared sheet pan.
Scatter the chopped red and green bell peppers and onion around the chicken. Drizzle any leftover marinade over vegetables.
Lightly season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Roast for about 15 minutes until sizzling and starting to caramelize.
Carefully sprinkle the raw cashews over the chicken and vegetables. Roast for an additional 7-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the oven, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot over cooked rice.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes to an hour. Adjust seasonings according to personal taste.
