Cashew & Pepper Chicken

16 November 2009 No Comment

cashewpepperThis chicken recipe is a blend of so many different flavors that all come together perfectly.  I would be lying if I said that I made this chicken on purpose… the only parts of this that were in the original plan are the chicken cutlets and the peppers.  Everything else – including the cashews was purely ad hoc…. and it turned out super well.  Plus it looks pretty damn fancy if I do say so myself – so feel free to make it for someone you’re trying to impress.  ;)

  • Two thin chicken cutlets
  • Handful of cashew halves
  • Two cloves of garlic, minced
  • One red pepper
  • One yellow pepper
  • Low sodium soy sauce
  • Stir fry sauce
  • White wine
  • 2 tbs butter
  • Dash of cayenne pepper
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • Lime juice
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Pepper the two chicken cutlets and set onto a baking sheet covered in tin foil.
  • Cut up your peppers into narrow strips, making sure to remove all seeds.
  • In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat and cook the minced garlic until it becomes aromatic.
  • Add in the pepper strips and the cashews and let simmer until the peppers soften.
  • Add a dash of cayenne pepper to the peppers… being careful to make sure that the steam doesn’t get in your eyes… ouch.
  • At this point, add a splash of soy sauce and around 2 tbs of sweet stir fry sauce.
  • Mix with soft spatula and add a splash of white wine and lime juice.
  • Spoon the pepper/cashew mixture on top of the two chicken cutlets.
  • Toss in oven and bake until fully cooked.  Since we’re using thin cutlets… I would check them at 20 minutes.
