Servings: 4

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

½ cup cashews, roughly chopped

1 pound chicken breasts, cooked and cubed into bite sized pieces

1/3 cup craisins (raisins work, too)

2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

garlic powder

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

salt

Equipment:

whisk

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Start by cooking some chicken breasts. I like boiling them in chicken broth or stock, but feel free to boil in water, too. Boiling the chicken in broth, however, will give it significantly more flavor. Bring the chicken broth/stock to a boil and put in whole chicken breasts. Cook until no pink remains. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, this could take anywhere from 15 - 20 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is boiling, put together your sauce. Whisk together greek yogurt, dijon mustard, and garlic powder together until well mixed. Add in salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Next, stir in dried cranberries or raisins and cashews. If you're worried about the cashews getting too soft, you could add them right before serving!
  4. After the chicken is done boiling, I like to let it rest for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the juice stays in the chicken instead of spilling out when you cut it!
  5. Dice up the chicken and mix it into the sauce. Serve.

Food Joke

A young couple got married. When the wife prepared to bake a ham to celebrate their first Thanksgiving, she carefully cut off each end before placing it in the pan.Her husband asked her why she did that and she replied, "I don`t know - it`s what my mother always did. But I can ask her."She called Mom, who responded, "I always saw your Grandma do it, so I did the same."They decided to check further, so the young woman called Grandma, who explained, "It was the only way I could get it to fit into my pan."
