Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tikka masala spice blend
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1- inch piece of ginger grated
1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
fresh cilantro chopped for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the yogurt and tikka masala spice blend. Add the chicken pieces and coat them well with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Chicken Tikka Masala over rice or with naan bread. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Enjoy!
