How to make Cashew Crusted Chicken
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F, and lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish.
We're going to make the tastiest glaze to coat the chicken with. In a skillet on the stove, combine a jar of apricot preserves, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp curry powder. Cook this mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until everything is nicely melted and smooth.
Next, coarsely chop your cashews a bit. You don't want them too fine where they're gritty, and you don't want whole pieces either.
Going one by one, coat each chicken breast in the sauce on all sides, and roll in the chopped cashews. Place into your prepared baking dish.
I like to pour out a little bit of sauce each time only a plate so I can save any to use for dipping without putting the raw chicken into it. You can also boil the remaining sauce before dinner and serve on the side.
Bake chicken 20-30 minutes until cooked through. Enjoy!

What to serve with Cashew Chicken
This cashew crusted chicken is so versatile and so delicious – it really pairs well with all of your favorite Asian-inspired sides.
One of my favorite recipes to pair with this chicken is the Broccoli Slaw from the Sides menu.
Try serving this over rice (we love Jasmine rice at my house!), noodles, low mein, steamed veggies, and more.
