Preparation Steps
- Begin by placing diced boneless skinless chicken breasts into a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of arrowroot flour along with salt and black pepper. Toss the chicken pieces thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the flour and seasoning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, sugar-free ketchup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, coconut sugar, honey, Chinese five-spice powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk the mixture until smooth and cohesive.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker. Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture until the chicken is completely covered with the sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredable.
- After the cooking time is complete, stir in the unsalted raw cashews directly into the slow cooker.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of arrowroot flour with a splash of water until it dissolves. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker, stirring to combine everything.
- Cover the slow cooker again and let it cook for an additional 20 minutes.
