Cashew Chicken

2

10 mins

Tender chicken coated in a silky sauce made by blending cashews with lime, garlic, soy and a little kick of sriracha. It's rich and creamy, with no cream needed. Chicken makes this high in protein, and the cashews add healthy fats and magnesium. Serve it with plenty of vegetables for a quick, satisfying dinner.

Ingredients
  • 50g unsalted cashews
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • ½ tsp sriracha or hot sauce
  • 2 tsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 chicken breasts (around 300g), cut into bite-sized pieces (or 200g firm tofu for vegan, pressed and cubed)
