Spiced Cashew Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

-6 pieces bone in chicken, fat trimmed and skin removed ( I prefer thighs or a mix of thighs and drums)

-2 medium tomatoes finely diced (can use canned)

-1 large onion minced

-3-4 cloves of garlic minced

-1 heaping tbsp of three nuts spiced cashew butter

-1 cup of chicken broth 

-1 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil

-1/2 tsp cayenne or more to your preference

-salt and black pepper

STEPS:

1. Salt and pepper chicken. Heat oil in a large flat bottomed pan and brown chicken on both sides until lightly golden. No need to cook all the way through. remove and set aside.
2. There should still be plenty of oil in the pan. Next add onion and cook for 5 mins or so, until translucent. then add garlic and stir for another minute or so until fragrant.
3. Add diced tomatoes and cook for a minute or so, then add spiced cashew butter, stirring to make sure it does not stick.
4. Once the cashew butter is incorporated into the mixture add in the chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Return chicken pieces to the pan and spoon sauce over top. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for a minimum of 40 minutes, up to 1 hour.
6. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Serve over fresh steamed short grained white rice.
