Curry Cashew Dinner

 One of our favorite, and very easy dinners to prepare. One of the things that is special about it is that you can change the ingredients based on what you have on hand and you can mix and match to your heart's desire. I will put an asterisk next to the items that you cannot substitute (you won't see many).

1 boneless chicken thigh or 1/2 a chicken breast per person
1 onion (1/3 to 1/4 per person)
1/2 a clove of garlic per person
1 green onion per person
2 tablespoons of cashews per person
1 cube of Golden Curry Sauce Mix per person*
1/2 cup of mixed vegetables or raw vegetables that you like
Chicken Soup (1/4 cup per person)
1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil per person*
sesame oil
Low Sodium Shoyu*
Coconut Milk (1/4 cup per person)*




Ingredients




I like to take the chicken meat when it is still semi frozen and cube it.
Cube the chicken




Dice the onion
I slice it in half with the skin on.



Then I peel of the outer skin


I use the outer skin to hold the onion while I chop it

Next it's time for the garlic

I put the spatula on top of the clove and gently press down to crack it open

When it's cracked its so easy to remove the skin and the chop it


I slice the green onions

After the pan is hot and you have the oil/s inside, add your chicken

Add your onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes until onions are wilted

Add your frozen mixed (or fresh) veggies and chicken stock and cook on medium until the chicken is cooked.

Add the curry blocks

Disolve the curry into the liquid at the bottom of the pot

pour in your Coconut milk (or evaporated milk, or half and half)

Serve with rice, sprinkle the green onion and cashews on top
