Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and cut the lime into 6 wedges. Remove the stem ends of the string beans.
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the sauce
In the reserved pan, heat 2 tbsp butter on medium. Add the remaining spices and cook, scraping up any browned bits, 15 to 30 sec., until fragrant. Add the cream and demi-glace. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until combined. Add the mango chutney, juice of 2 lime wedges and S&P; stir well.
Sauté the string beans
Meanwhile, in a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the string beans and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to soften. Add 2 tbsp water and S&P. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender. Add 1 tbsp butter, the cashews and S&P; toss well.
Finish & serve
To the pot of rice, add the lime zest and S&P; stir well. Divide the rice between your plates. Top with the string beans and chicken. Drizzle the chicken with the sauce. Garnish with the remaining lime wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
