01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, take the chicken pieces, remove the skin, rinse them, and pat them dry. Mix the garlic and ginger together, then rub that all over the chicken. Arrange the chicken in a baking dish and cover it with foil for now.

Step 2
Next, toss the cilantro, cumin, jalapeño, and lemon juice into a blender and blend until smooth. Add a little water if it’s too thick. Set this fresh chutney aside for later. In a small bowl, stir the cashews and cream together until combined, then pour this mixture over the chicken.

Step 3
Pop the chicken into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the juices run clear. Take off the foil and bake for another 15 minutes so the sauce thickens into a nice gravy. When it’s done, take the dish out and stir the chutney into the gravy right in the pan. Give everything a good mix and spoon it over the chicken before serving.
