Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken is a delicious home cooked meal! Save on the take out and make this simple crockpot dinner at home.

There is nothing better than having a great take out taste – for half of the cost (or less?) at home.  It’s even better when it’s in the slow cooker and super easy!  Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken has a great flavor that will make you feel like you are eating take out (but you will know how much healthier this is AND how much money you are saving).

While I am saying this is healthier – it is a bit.  I added the non traditional carrots and celery 1 – because I love celery and carrots oddly and 2 – it’s nice to have a bit of veggie in the slow cooker with the meat.  The veggies had a great flavor after cooking in that yummy sauce all day too!  I served this with brown rice and it wasn’t a too bad for you meal!

I also froze this on a Sunday afternoon to eat during that week.  You don’t have to make 40 Freezer Meals at once (hey unless you want to – it’s great).  I just wanted to get a couple of things in the freezer because dinners were lacking in our house for a bit, and making a couple of meals (in like 20 minutes by the way) got me on the way!  YAY!
