Chicken Tikka Masala

Have you ever wondered how much weight is “impressive” or “average” when it comes to weight training? I found a great resource on Facebook that finally answered my questions and I wanted to share.

Tonight we had our first homemade Indian dish. We were happy with it! I found this recipe in a Food Network magazine.

Chicken Tikka Masala from Food Network Magazine

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For Chicken

  • 1 c. plain yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts

For sauce:

  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprkia
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 c. heavy cream (next time I will substitute milk cooked with cornstarch to cut out some of the calories)

Whisk the first 7 ingredients together and dump in a gallon plastic bag. Add in chicken breast and marinate for 30 minutes.

In a skillet, cook garlic in butter for two minutes. Add in cumin, paprika and salt. Cook one minute. Add tomato sauce and heavy cream.

Discard chicken marinade and broil chicken until done. Stir into sauce.

Serve with rice and Naan for a real Indian experience. I even found wheat Naan at the grocery store. SCORE!

  1. I love Indian food and have made a far amount of it. I’ve tried to make Alan but that needs some work. :)

  2. LOl…stupid auto correct. ” Alan” should be naan.

    I love naan bread. So soft and chewy and oh so good for dipping in all those wonderfully flavorful Indian sauces. Yum yum yum!
