- 1/2 cup chopped green onions

1. You need Preheated oven to 400°F (200°C) for this recipe.
2. To make the green goddess dressing, blend together green onions, cashews, green chutney, spinach, fruit chaat masala, salt to taste in a blender. Roll in the fresh cream in the mixture but don’t blend or it will leave its butter so you want to avoid that 🤨 !!! Keep this dressing aside!

4. Place the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Garnish with a drizzle malai or cream and some fresh chopped herbs if desired.
Feel free to cut some potatoes and place in the same baking dish as the chicken to serve along ! The yummy green dressing and juices will make the potatoes so flavorful ✨😋
