Paleo Cashew Chicken

This recipe was super fast and easy to make, and it tasted way good, and there wasn't a gram salt in it surprisingly enough, because of the soy sauce with is very salty, but gives a really good flavor to the chicken. I choose to serve it with a salad w/ balsamic vinegar dressing, and quinoa. Some people doesn't consider quinoa strict paleo, but to be honest don't I think it really matters. Technically quinoa is a seed, not a grain, so it should fit into the paleo diet, even though it has some of the same benefits (or harmfulness if you will).


Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken breast
1/4 cup coconut Flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp coconut crystals
1/2 tsp stevia
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup cashews

Directions:
Combine flour and pepper in large Ziploc bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture.
Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. 
Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken.
Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir.
