How to Make Ayam Bali Balinese Chicken

1. Combine 1 medium onion, 4 cloves garlic, 2-3 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), ½ cup cashew nuts, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger in an electric blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, and saute until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Pour the blended spice paste into the skillet with the chicken. Cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. Add 1 cup coconut milk. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
5. Garnish with ¼ cup toasted cashew nuts and serve hot with steamed rice.
