Do you Pinterest?
I have not jumped on the bandwagon–yet. Why you might ask? Well, I am distracted easily, ridiculously easily. As I am sitting down to write contracts or send invoices I “quick”check Facebook, “quick” check personal emails and Ugh! ignore every great productivity tip I learned by reading the Four Hour Work Week. So, the last thing I need is another gran distraction. (And I have heard Pinterest is super addictive…)
I will say, however, that every time I see one of my recipes get posted on Pinterest I beam a little bit with pride. My Honey Sesame Chicken flew around Pinterest, so I created this Rosemary Honey Chicken With Cashews using a similar base recipe and switching the flavors from Asian to Italian.
I hope ya’ll like it…and Pin it!
XXOO, Bree
1.25-1.5lbs of chicken, cut into cubes
2 TBS Balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp minced garlic
S+P
1/4 tsp Rosemary, diced
1/2 cup of cashews
Dash of cayenne
Preheat the oven to 400. Sprinkle flour onto a plate and dip the chicken into it, shaking off the excess and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper. Line a baking pan (with high sides) with parchment paper and add the chicken making sure it is spaced out. Bake for 15 minutes. While the chicken is baking, mix together the garlic, balsamic, honey and rosemary. Take out the chicken and pour the sauce over it, stirring to coat each piece. Put the chicken back in the oven and bake for 5minutes more, stirring a few times to be sure every piece is glazed evenly. Add in the cashews and tossing, and bake 5 minutes more. If you really like the flavor of rosemary add a few more fresh sprigs and serve. (You can roast asparagus with seasoning and olive oil at the same time for about 12-15 minutes)
Kid Tip:You can leave out the nuts and go easy on the cayenne, but otherwise, the flavors here are really great and I think your kids will like it. Finger food!
This looks amazing! Just found your blog and love the reason behind it, I find myself in the same boat where the eating habits had to change to accommodate the reduced (ha – non-existent!) workout time…can’t wait to try some of your recipes
Thanks for stopping by Anna!!
Love the sauce on this and the hint of cayenne, yum!
Thanks Jessica! Let me know if you ever make it. I love any feedback!
sensational! that is the first thing that came to my mind with this recipe! It looks so juicy and tender and delicious! I love it
You are too sweet!
Hey Bree! I am not a fan of Pinterest for personal use. I like it from the perspective of it being a good source of traffic for me though. I had a sesame chicken wonton cup that went crazy on pinterest. This honey chicken looks killer. Love it!
Going to look up your Sesame Chicken Wonton right now!!
Sounds good – wonder how it would be on shrimp….?
Think I might try this tonight for the boys and I – with chicken AND shrimp!
Thanks Bree!
Oh! Let me know how the shrimp worked in there Candy!!
Made this for dinner last night – LOVED it!!! Thanks for the great recipes, Bree!!!
I am so glad you liked it and thanks so much for making my recipes. Makes my day!
These look like amber jewels and probably taste even better. GREG
Thanks Greg–They were yummy!
This sounds delicious! We eat a lot of chicken, so I am constantly on the lookout for good recipes, and this sounds really good! Will definitely give it a try.
Great–Thanks Elisa! Let me know what you think if you try it
2 Balsamic Vinegar? Sorry to be picky, but i’d really like to try this recipe. Can you elaborate?
Thanks so much! It sounds delicious!
I’m making this now as I write my comment. The recipe sounds and looks amazing but my chicken is not taking on the coating of the sauce. It is just white and plain with the sauce staying in bottom of pan. I followed directions exactly, but how do you achieve the nicely browned and coated appearance?
Hi Bridget,
Oh no! Okay did you bake it first and then pour the sauce over the chicken pieces so that every piece was glazed? The sauce should be really thick and gooey so it should coat the chicken well. Keep stirring it and it should stick. Also, did you shake the chicken in flour first? Hm. Send me a pic!
