Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl combine 4 cups cauliflower florets, 2 large tomatoes (quartered), and 1 medium red onion (roughly chopped). Add 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons yellow curry powder. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated. Spread the vegetables in one layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small food processor combine the remaining curry powder (2 teaspoons), 2/3 cup roasted salted cashews, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until the cashews are broken down but still have some small chunks for texture. Transfer the crushed cashew mixture to a shallow plate.
- Pat 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Pour 1 large egg white onto another shallow plate.
- Working one breast at a time, dredge a chicken breast in the egg white, letting any excess drip off, then press both sides into the crushed cashews so the cashews adhere. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
- Place a small cooling rack with legs (that fits on your sheet pan) on top of the sheet pan over the vegetables. Arrange the cashew-coated chicken breasts on the rack so air can circulate around them.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part, about 14–15 minutes depending on thickness. Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm doneness.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the chicken rest on the rack for 3–5 minutes. Scatter 2 cups thinly sliced cucumber (sliced and halved) over the roasted vegetables, then garnish with chopped fresh mint and chopped fresh cilantro. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm directly from the pan or transfer to a platter.
