Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with 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.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces on an angle. Roughly chop the cashews. Quarter the lime.
Roast the vegetables
On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large), zucchini and onions with a drizzle of oil, the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Make the lime raita
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the raita and juice of ½ the lime wedges.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the chicken, vegetables and cashews. Serve the raita and remaining lime wedges on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
