Japan Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green chilies, slit lengthwise
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cashew powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat.
  3. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add the garlic and green chilies and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  7. Add the milk, cashew powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet and bring to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
  10. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  11. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve hot.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream in place of the milk.
  • If you don't have cashew powder, you can substitute 1/2 cup of finely ground cashews.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as chopped onions, carrots, or mushrooms.
  • Serve Japan chicken with rice, naan, or roti.

Here are some additional tips:

  • Be sure to coat the chicken pieces evenly in the flour mixture. This will help them to brown evenly and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or milk to thin it out.
  • Serve Japan chicken immediately, while it is hot and flavorful.
