Charlie Gibson - &Quot;Chicken With Cashews&Quot;
From Charlie Gibson
Monday, June 10, 1996

Charlie chose his Chicken With Cashew recipe as GMA kicked off their GMA Family Cooking Series. You could say Charlie's a nut about cashews! He also likes to make up extra sauce when preparing this dish. The recipe is a variation of Kung Pao Chicken that is made with peanuts. He's been making it for his family for years, and now shares it with all of us!
