Cashew butter makes the wheels go ’round. It’s the rich and nutty fuel behind a velvety sauce draped over tender chicken breasts. It comes together in mouth-watering style with a boost from tomato paste, melted butter and our Mellow Mumbai spice mix, along with a handful of wilted greens. To go grain-free for the side, simply sauté green beans with a final dose of garlic.

Preparation
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and keep warm, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Sauté the green beans
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans. In a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the green beans and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to soften. Add ½ the garlic, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender.
Make the sauce
Heat the reserved pan on medium. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until dark red. Add ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions), the remaining garlic and spices, and S&P. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until thickened. Whisk in the cashew butter and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Add the spinach, chicken and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the spinach has wilted.
Plate your dish
Divide the green beans and chicken (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Bon appétit!
