  4. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in oil. Add broth, coconut milk, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, red onion, cashews, and remaining salt. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate, and bring to a boil over high heat.
