welcome back to my series where I’m turning a single $50 grocery list into your week of easy, healthy meals — this is recipe #1! 💕 grocery list is in the previous video 😊 full recipe below & detailed/printable version on my website! ingredients: - 1/2 cup raw cashews + 1 cup boiling hot water - 1 lb boneless chicken thighs - 1 + 1/2 tsp salt + additional to taste - 1/2 tsp black pepper - 2 tsp + 1 tsp garlic powder (separated) - 2 tsp + 1 tsp dried oregano (separated) - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) - 2 tbsp olive oil - 1/4 large yellow onion, diced - 1 + 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed - 2 tbsp nutritional yeast - 1/2 cup broth + 1 + 1/2 cups water - 2 tbsp lemon juice - 2oz baby spinach - 15oz can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed, & quartered Place the cashews in a glass bowl or jar and cover completely with the hot water. Set aside for 20-30 mins. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Season on all sides with the 1 + 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp oregano, and red pepper flakes. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 mins on each side, until brown and crisp. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté for about 5 mins, stirring occasionally. While the onion sautés, add the soaked cashews (along with the water) to a food processor or blender. Blend on high speed until it’s a smooth cashew milk (if needed, add additional water to smooth). You should have about 1 + 1/4 cups. Set aside. Add the rice to the skillet with the onion and mix to cover the rice in oil. Season with the remaining salt, garlic powder, and oregano, along with the nutritional yeast. Mix in the cashew milk, broth, water, & lemon juice. Stir in the spinach and artichokes. Place the chicken back in the skillet. Put on the lid and cook for 20-25 mins, until the rice is fully cooked and most of the liquid has been soaked up. Remove from heat and for best results, serve immediately 💕 #budgetshopping #groceriesonabudget #groceryshopping #groceryshop #groceryhaul #mealprep #mealprepping #mealprepideas #grocerylist #mealsonabudget #healthyonabudget #easyhealthyrecipes
