Sweet and Savory Chicken and Walnut Recipe Details
Prepared with pantry basics such as vinegar, soy sauce, sweet onion, and ginger, the magic of our Sweet and Savory Chicken and Walnut recipe derives from the excellent balance of its flavors. Simmering tames the acidity of the vinegar, which then combines with the flavor of the chicken, spices and naturally sweet organic carob syrup to enhance it.
In case walnuts are unavailable, please feel free to use cashews, pecans or almonds. The flavor profile will be slightly different but the nutty taste will still be there.
Enjoy cooking!
