set the sauce aside.

In a large wok heat add the oil and add the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and pepper and sauté them for around 5 minutes, or until they are beginning to brown.
Add garlic to the wok and fry for 30 seconds making sure that it does not burn. Add vegetables and mix them through the chicken.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened but are still crunchy and fresh. By this point the chicken will be cooked through and you can remove the wok from heat.
Before serving, mix through the sauce and throw in a handful of cashews and spring onions for some added texture.
