Fire up the WOK and chow the chicken chunks until cooked through and set aside.
2
Remember this time it will have no additional cooking.
3
If you have cooked chicken use it.
4
A Woolfe Tip, when B&Schicken breasts are cheap, I chunk, WOK, and vac-bag freeze for later use.
5
Put all the dressing ingredients in a blender or small food processor and ZAP until blended.
6
I throw the cashews in as is, as I buy the pieces it's a lot cheaper that way.

You can do both the Chicken and dressing ahead of time.

Tear up the greens into a bowl.

Add the orange segments and cooled chicken.
10
