Chicken Tikka Masala
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tbsp canola oil
1½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1” cubes
1 medium sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1½ tsp garam masala
1½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1 jar Otamot Organic Essential Tomato Sauce or Spicy Sauce
1 cup chicken stock
½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
Kosher salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tsp fresh cilantro, minced (optional)
Preparation:
- Heat the canola oil in a large pot on medium high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper and add to the pan and sear until evenly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion to the chicken and continue to cook until the onions begin to caramelize, about 4-5 minutes more.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, fresh ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder. Stirring frequently, cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add Otamot Organic Essential Tomato Sauce or Spicy Sauce and chicken stock and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and bring the sauce to a simmer. Allow to cook for 10 minutes to blend all the flavors.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the yogurt and season to taste with additional salt and black pepper.
- Serve this easy chicken tikka masala with basmati rice and grilled naan bread. Sprinkle with minced cilantro, if using, just before serving.
**Note – For a dairy free alternative, replace the ½ cup of low-fat Greek yogurt with a ½ cup of coconut milk instead.
