  • Gently melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add curry paste; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  • Heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Saute until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and chicken base and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken mixture into the coconut-curry sauce. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine water and rice in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until all water has been absorbed, about 9 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
  • Serve chicken curry over rice. Garnish with cashews just before serving.
