You’ll be impressed by how a dish with so few ingredients can taste so complex.
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup unsalted roasted cashews
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup gluten-free low-sodium chicken broth
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2″ pieces
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons lime juice
1. In a food processor, combine the cilantro, cashews, and curry powder. Pulse to a paste. With the machine running, add the broth. The mixture will be runny and grainy.
2. Transfer the mixture to a medium nonstick skillet and add the salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Tuck the chicken into the sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the peas and cook for 3 minutes, or until heated through.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
