Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, stir together the turmeric spice blend and as much sambal oelek as you like. Add the chicken and rub all over with the mixture.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.

Make the cucumber-cabbage salad
- Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ½-inch pieces.
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into ½-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, stir together the cashew dressing base and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss together the cucumber, cabbage, bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] cashew dressing (set aside the remaining dressing for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
