This Cashew Ginger Chicken may just be one of the best chicken recipes you’ll ever have! Juicy chicken mini fillets are marinated and baked in a deliciously rich, creamy cashew ginger sauce that’s packed with flavour—and fertility-boosting nutrients.

Cashew ginger chicken ingredients and fertility benefits

Every ingredient in this dish has been carefully chosen not only for taste but also for its nutritional benefits for fertility. Here’s why this recipe is a must-add to your fertility meal plan:

• Cashew Butter: Cashews are rich in zinc, a key mineral for hormone balance, egg quality, and sperm health. They also provide healthy fats that support hormone production. Use smooth, well-stirred roasted cashew butter. Avoid the drier, thick layer at the bottom of the jar.
• Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger helps to support digestion, circulation, and overall reproductive health.
• Garlic: A natural immune booster with powerful antioxidants that support fertility by protecting egg and sperm health. Garlic is a must-have aromatic for flavour in this recipe.
• Tamari: This gluten-free soy sauce contains fermented soy, which can provide beneficial probiotics that support gut health—an important factor in hormone balance. It also adds a rich umami flavour.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Helps regulate blood sugar levels, which is crucial for fertility, particularly for those with PCOS or insulin resistance. It also supports digestion and gut health. As well as enhancing flavour, apple cider vinegar helps tenderise the chicken.
• Honey: A natural source of antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress, which can negatively impact fertility. Honey adds a hint of sweetness.
• Chicken: A high-quality source of lean protein, which is essential for hormone production, egg health, and maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Chicken mini fillets are time-saving and perfectly portioned, but you can also use chicken breasts.

How to Make Cashew Ginger Chicken

This recipe couldn’t be easier! Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), then follow these three simple steps:

1. Blend the Sauce: Place the cashew butter, ginger, garlic, tamari, apple cider vinegar, honey, and water in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the sauce to an ovenproof baking dish, add the chicken mini fillets, and turn to coat. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through, until it’s cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
3. Serve & Enjoy: Serve in bowls over brown rice noodles or brown rice with stir-fried greens, and sprinkle with spring onions and red chilli. For an extra boost, I love pairing this with garlic and chilli sautéed kale for even more fertility-friendly nutrients.

Final Thoughts

This nourishing, hormone-supporting dish is perfect if you’re looking to support your fertility through food. It’s packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients, protein, healthy fats, and key micronutrients to help optimise your fertility naturally—plus, it’s incredibly delicious!
