Basil Cilantro And Macadamia Nut Chicken

Not your ordinary weeknight chicken, but after marinating, the dish is ready in about 1/2 hour! Make it the night before and you have a quick, delicious treat for dinner. The flavor will have you filling your plate again and again.

Steps

Put ginger , garlic and peppers into a food processor and process til smooth.
Add macadamia nuts and continue to process.
Add oil , lime juice yogurt , basil , cilantro and spices and process again until smooth.
Put the chicken in a medium bowl , and add the mixture , stirring to coat all pieces.
Cover and refrigerate chicken for 12 hours.
This step is not necessarily required.
Heat a bit of oil in a wok , or deep dish fry pan.
Add chicken and its marinade to pan and cook thoroughly , stirring frequently , until marinade sticks to chicken.
This will take about 20 minutes to 1 / 2 hour.
The mixture will look soupy at first , and then begin to thicken up as the sauce reduces.
I like a little heat , so i also add a little chili oil to the dish.
Serve with steamed jasmine or basmati rice.
