Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup tomato puree
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup low fat coconut milk
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, chili powder, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
-
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
-
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, and chicken broth to the pan. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened.
-
Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the tomato mixture until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt to taste.
-
Add the grilled chicken to the sauce and simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
-
Serve the Chicken Tikka Masala over steamed rice or with naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
