Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large casserole dish. Spread the brown rice evenly across the bottom, then layer on the celery, red bell pepper, and green pepper. Place the chicken pieces on top of the veggies. In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, cumin, pepper, and salt. Pour this sauce over the chicken, then scatter the water chestnuts on top. Pop the dish in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and tender, which should take about 45 minutes. Once that’s done, sprinkle the cashews over everything and bake for another 10 minutes or so, until the cashews turn golden and a little crispy.
