Crispy Cashew Chicken

Serving Size: 8-10

Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1 1/4 cup finely chopped cashew nuts
2 whole boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin slices
2 cups peanut or vegetable oil
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoon dry sherry

    Directions:

    1. In small bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, sugar and sherry. In separate bowl, beat egg white lightly until just frothy. Gradually add cornstarch mixture. Stir gently until blended.
    2. Place chopped cashews on plate. Dip chicken slices into egg mixture, then coat with cashews. Place on waxed paper.
    3. In a wok, heat oil over medium-high until it reaches 375 degrees. Drop 5 or 6 slices of chicken carefully into hot oil, using a slotted spoon. Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Continue frying remaining chicken pieces.
