Add the mushrooms and celery.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Peel the broccoli stem and slice it thinly.
Cut off the florets and separate them into bite-size pieces.
Add the broccoli and peppers to the casserole and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Stir in the cashews and peas.
Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Cover the dish with foil and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the lemon juice.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a large plate.
Cover with wax paper and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Rearrange the chicken so that any uncooked strips are toward the outside of the plate.
Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
