Chicken Tikka Masala

This is a very good one, and slightly spicy. I would double the sauce, but do not double the jalapeno unless you like spice. A lot.

Ingredients

    Marinade
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Tikka Masala Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • Toppings
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 limes sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients except chicken.
  2. Pour sauce over chicken and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 8 hours.
  3. Grill or cook chicken in frying pan (be sure to get a lot, but not all, of the marinade off the chicken before cooking). Discard marinade.
  4. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for one minute. Add cumin, paprika and salt.
  5. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
  6. Add grilled chicken and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and sliced limes
  8. Serve over hot rice.
