Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Boil a kettle
Strip your mint leaves from their stems, discard the stems
Add your cashew nuts to a small bowl, cover them with boiled water and set aside to soften
Peel and finely chop half your garlic (save the other half for later!)
Cut your lime[s] in half
Season your chicken breast portion[s] on both sides with salt and pepper
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for 3 min on each side or until golden
Once golden, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped garlic and a couple of splashes of water to the pan
Cover with a lid and cook for a further 12-15 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
While the chicken is cooking, add your bulgur wheat, chicken stock mix and a pinch of salt to a pot with a lid with 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water
Bring to the boil over a high heat and once boiling, reduce the heat to medium then cook, covered, for 7-9 min or until almost all the water has absorbed
Once done, remove the pot from the heat, fluff with a fork and set aside until later
Meanwhile, wash your spinach and pat it dry with kitchen paper
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a food processor with most of the mint leaves (save a few for garnish!), coriander, the juice of the lime[s], a handful of spinach (you'll use the rest later!) and the remaining garlic
Add 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil, 1 tbsp [1 tbsp] [1 1/2 tbsp] cold water, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and blitz until smooth – this is your zingy cashew sauce
Add your blanched peas to a colander and pour boiled water all over them to refresh them
Stir the refreshed peas, remaining spinach and half the zingy cashew sauce (save the rest for later!) through the cooked bulgur – this is your spinach & pea bulgur
Slice the cooked chicken on a clean board
Serve the sliced chicken over the spinach & pea bulgur
Drizzle over the remaining zingy cashew sauce
Season with a grind of black pepper
Garnish with the remaining mint leaves
Enjoy!
