This chicken recipe is as green as it's good – the homemade sauce adds a nice herbal zing to the dish. It's one of our favourite healthy chicken recipes.

Ben Lippett

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Chuck the cashews, coriander, mint, chillies and chicken stock into a blender and whizz until bright green and smooth. Season the chicken thighs with salt and preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat.

Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the pan and begin to render the fat. Cook for 8-10 mins, barely touching the chicken until the skin is a deep golden brown and starting to become very crispy. Keep going until the skin is gorgeously golden and almost shiny like glass.

Once you’re happy with the skin, remove the chicken and add to a baking dish, skin-side up, leaving behind the chicken fat. Finely slice the red onion and tip three-quarters of it into the pan. Add a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 mins. Now add the ginger paste and spices. Cook for 4-5 mins until fragrant. Now pour in the cashew mixture, and bring to a boil. Pour over the chicken in the roasting dish and slide into the oven for 25-30 mins.

Heat or cook the rice according to the pack instructions.

Pull the chicken out of the oven and serve with the rice, remaining onions and fresh lime wedges.

Very tasty and easy to make. I would suggest leaving the chicken in the oven for another 10 mins as it was only just cooked through when I followed the timings from this recipe.

Probably my favourite Mob recipe! An absolutely delicious combination of herbs and spices that end up as a silky green sauce... Yum!

This is one of my absolute FAVOURITE recipes of all time, ever, all categories. I absolutely hate having yo use the blender, but it’s so worth it for this amazing dish. I’m planning to make some sauce ahead of time to freeze so I can pull it out for quick, hassle free meals! Also, I’ve been using skinless and boneless thighs. I do miss the fat rendering, but it’s still tasty.
