Preparation
Grill the chicken
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, ½ the curry paste and a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken* to the BBQ and grill, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, juice the lime. Remove the bottom inch of the broccolini stems (halve lengthwise if large). In a medium bowl, combine the broccolini, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Medium-dice the cucumbers.
Grill the broccolini
Add the broccolini to the BBQ and grill, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned and tender.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cashew butter, ½ the honey, ½ the lime juice, the remaining curry paste, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. If the sauce seems thick, gradually add 1 tsp water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
Make the cucumber salad
In a second medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, cashews, remaining honey and lime juice, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken, broccolini and cucumber salad between your plates. Drizzle the chicken with the sauce. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
