Crockpot Cashew Chicken

I love....love....love cashew chicken.  This is a great easy recipe for an everyday meal.  Not as good as my mom's but not bad.

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs, tenders or breasts, cubed*
1/4 C. flour
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 C. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 C. cashews

Combine flour and pepper in a large Ziploc bag.  Add chicken.  Shake to coat with flour mixture.  Heat oil in skillet over medium-high.  Brown chicken about 2 min on each side.  Place chicken in crockpot.   Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in a small bowl.  Pour over chicken.  Cook on low 3-4 hours.  Add cashews and stir.  Serve over rice. 4-6 servings.

If you want extra sauce for your rice, double sauce ingredients

*You will have more flavor if you use chicken thighs and you can't tell much difference between the thighs and breasts.
