Why Everyone Loves This Recipe

This dish brings together the fresh, vibrant flavors of cilantro with tender, juicy chicken. It’s a perfect balance of herbaceous and savory notes that make every bite exciting. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and feels light yet satisfying.

Better Cooking Tips

- Use fresh cilantro for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
- Cook the chicken on medium heat to keep it tender and avoid drying out.

Step 1

Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the chicken pieces, remove the skin, give them a quick rinse, and pat them dry. Mix together the garlic and ginger, then rub that all over the chicken. Place the chicken in a baking dish and cover it with foil for now.

Step 2

Toss the cilantro, cumin, jalapeno, and lemon juice into a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if it’s too thick. Set this flavorful green chutney aside for later.

Step 3

In a small bowl, stir the cashews into the cream until well combined. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken in the baking dish.

Step 4

Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear. Then, take off the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes so the sauce can thicken up a bit.

Step 5

When it’s done, take the dish out and mix the thickened sauce with the cilantro chutney you made earlier. Give everything a good stir and spoon the sauce over the chicken before serving.

Serving Options

Serve this with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread to soak up the flavorful chutney. A side of cucumber raita or a simple salad can add a refreshing contrast. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken moist. You can also freeze portions for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
