Indian Spiced Chicken With Cashew Cilantro Pesto Recipe

Pesto

    Chicken

  1. Place the cashews in a small food processor (mine is 3 cups) and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. Add everything except the water and oil and pulse until broken down.

  2. With the food processor running, stream in the water and oil until well blended, scraping down the sides as needed.

  3. Heat the olive oil for the chicken in a large pan on medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 4-6 minutes.

  4. Once golden, add in the garam masala, turmeric, cumin and salt and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes.

  5. Add in the crushed tomatoes and ⅔ of the pesto. Stir until well combined. Turn the heat down to medium lower and simmer until it just begins to chicken, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Serve over rice of choice, garnish with more cilantro and cashews and drizzle on the remaining pesto.
