Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Unsalted cashews
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into long strips, about 1 inch wide.

Step 2

Season the chicken strips with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare your breading station: place 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour in one shallow dish, beat 2 large eggs in a second shallow dish, and combine 1.5 cups of chopped unsalted cashews with 0.5 cup of panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the cashew and breadcrumb mixture to fully coat.

Step 5

Heat 0.5 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken strips in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 6

To make the curry mayonnaise, combine 0.5 cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, and 0.5 teaspoon of honey in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth.

Step 7

Serve the cashew chicken fingers warm with the curry mayonnaise on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
