  1. Combine rice, Thai Seasoning, 1 ¼ cups (2 ½ cups) water and ¼ tsp (½ tsp) salt in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

  2. Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into ½-inch pieces. Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Add chicken, half the cornstarch and ½ tbsp (1 tbsp) soy sauce to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

  3. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. While the pan heats, combine sweet chili sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining cornstarch and ½ cup (1 cup) water in a small bowl. When hot, add cashews to the dry pan. Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden and nutty, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on the cashews so they don't burn.) Transfer to a plate.

  4. Return the same pan to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 2-3 min. Add peppers. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 1-2 min. Add bok choy. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Add chili sauce mixture and garlic to the pan with chicken and veggies. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, 1-2 min. ** Roughly chop cashews.

  6. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide rice between plates. Top with chicken and veggies. Sprinkle cashews over top.
