Step 1
To start your delicious chicken dish, grab a large skillet and warm up some vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced chicken and sauté it until it turns a lovely white color, signaling that it’s cooking through.

Next, pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, and then add in the chopped celery, bamboo shoots, and crunchy water chestnuts for that delightful texture.
Step 5
Cover the skillet and lower the heat to let everything simmer gently for about five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6
While that’s happening, take a small bowl and mix cornstarch with a splash of cold water until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Stir this mixture into the skillet, and watch as the sauce begins to thicken and bubble, creating a rich coating for your chicken and veggies.
Step 8
Just before serving, sprinkle some crunchy cashews on top for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
