Note

For best results, ensure the chicken is fully cooked before adding the fresh fruits and nuts.

Toasting the cashews beforehand enhances their flavor and crunch.

If lemongrass is unavailable, you can substitute with lime zest and ginger for a similar aromatic profile.

This dish pairs well with jasmine rice or a fresh green salad.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
