This coconut cashew chicken curry is the perfect summer dish, especially if you grow your own fresh basil and cilantro! It’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 jalapeno, halved (with ribs and seeds removed for mild, left in for spicier) – if you like jalapeno, get a second for garnishing!
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Combine onion, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, basil, and cilantro in a blender or food processor on high until it forms a smooth paste.
  2. Add coconut milk, chicken bone broth, curry powder, salt, and pepper to the blender or food processor. Blend again on high until smooth and homogenous.
  3. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat and add shredded chicken. Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
