This 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.
