Chicken Cashew

This recipe is from my mom. Its very good, very simple, and makes good leftovers. I've also substituted broccoli for the green pepper, and its yummy that way too.

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cut into chunks
2 chicken flavored bouillon cubes
1 1/4 c boiling water
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 c sliced green onions
1 small green pepper, sliced
1 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 c cashews
hot cooked rice

In a small saucepan, dissolve bouillon in water. Combine soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and ginger; stir into bouillon mixture. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil. Add bouillon mixture; cook and stir until slightly thickened. Add onions, green pepper and water chestnuts; simmer uncovered 5-8 minutes, stirring occassionally. Remove from heat, add cashews. Serve with rice.
