CHICKEN STUFFED WITH CASHEW & RAISINS RECIPE
Steps:
- METHOD: In a small skillet on medium low heat, add the cashew pieces. Let them toast gently and remove quickly when browned. Set aside until needed. To the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of the oil. When hot, add the garlic, ginger and green chilies. Stir and add the spices (salt, pepper, ground cumin, turmeric, ground coriander and garam masala). Stir fry and add the raisins. You can add a little of the raisin soaking liquid if there is any, it's usually absorbed by the raisins. Add half of the lime juice and the freshly grated nutmeg. Stir to combine well, remove from the heat and let the mixture cool. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (180 deg C). To prepare the chicken, place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wax; gently pound with a meat mallet to flatten evenly. Be careful not to tear or break through. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with a little salt, pepper and garam masala; fill with even portions of the filling mixture (about a tsp or so). Roll up and secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow 3-quart baking dish, spooning any extra filling around the chicken rolls. Add a little water (½ cup) and the rest of the lime juice. Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the center rack for 10-12 minutes. Remove the foil and broil on low uncovered for another 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove from the oven, cover tightly with the foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, carefully remove the toothpicks and slice into ½ inch thick slices. Transfer to a serving platter and arrange nicely, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and lime wedges. Serve warm with your favorite chutneys and sauces, this dish makes a great accompaniment to any Indian meal. VARIATIONS: Instead of raisins, try using currants, dried cherries or dried apricots. You could also make this dish using almonds or pistachios. There are lots of combinations, so just use your favorites.
CASHEW-CURRY CHICKEN SALAD

CHICKEN WITH RAISINS
I turn to this recipe -- adapted from the French chef Madeleine Kamman, who died in the summer of 2018 - when cool weather is on the horizon. Perhaps it's the dried fruit or chicken braised in a sauce (instead of being striped on the grill) that appeals to the season. But it's an easy winner for those first dinners when fall appears. Though plumped raisins are called for, other dried fruit, like diced figs or quartered prunes work well, too.

Steps:
- Place raisins in a bowl, add brandy and set aside to plump overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- Make the chicken: Dry chicken pieces. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium-high, add chicken, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn pieces and brown second side. Scatter shallots over chicken. Add verjus to the pan, cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 to 20 minutes, basting chicken once, until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken to a dish and cover to keep warm. Add raisins with their brandy to the pan, bring to a simmer for a couple of minutes, then add glace de viande and crème fraîche. Cook for several minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
- Return chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, then transfer the contents of the pan to a warm, rimmed platter and serve.

SESAME CHICKEN WITH CASHEWS AND DATES
Dates add a touch of sweetness to this savory chicken and scallion stir-fry. If you don't have a wok or a 12-inch skillet, you might want to cook this in two batches in a smaller pan. That will ensure a nice, browned crust on the meat. And if you want to substitute chicken breasts, stir-fry them for only 2 minutes in Step 2 before adding the rice wine.

Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper while you heat a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat until it's very hot, at least 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil and swirl the pan; the oil should thin on contact. When the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic, scallions and chile. Stir-fry until the garlic is golden at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the 2 remaining tablespoon oil, chicken and cashews, and stir fry until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes (turn down the heat if the cashews are browning too quickly). Add the rice wine, soy sauce and dates; simmer until the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency and the chicken cooks through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the herbs, sprinkle with rice vinegar or lime juice, and serve over rice.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
- If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use water instead. However, the chicken broth will add more flavor to the dish.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the pan juices every 20 minutes or so.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the chicken stuffed with cashew raisins with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Chicken stuffed with cashew raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can have this dish on the table in no time.
