Curry Chicken & Cashew Jasmine Rice Casserole





















Ingredients:
  • 1 to 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast (free-range, organic), sliced randomly or cut into 1/2" cubes
  • 1 can chicken broth 
  • Olive oil (use as desired)
  • 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 medium, sliced red onion
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup fat free, Greek, strained, non fat yogurt
  • 4 tsp curry powder (preservative free) 
  • Dash of mixed spices (Mrs. Dash is a good one–it's salt and gluten free, all natural and preservative-free ... but not organic.)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Pinch organic sugar

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Marinate raw chicken in chicken broth, curry, mixed seasonings, onions and peas for one to two hours in refrigerator. 
  • In a large skillet, cook chicken with marinade ingredients in olive oil and water on medium heat until tender and no longer pink (approximately 12 minutes). 
  • Stir cashews into rice. Combine chicken and marinade ingredients with rice. Add yogurt, salt, and sugar. Mix all ingredients. Pour into a 3-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with cashews. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

  1. Do you suggest cutting the chicken before cooking it?

  2. I prefer to cut after chicken is cooked; However, chicken cooks quicker if cut first. Thank you for your comment!
