Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 large cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon garam masala*
- 1 teaspoon ground chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne use more if you like the dish spicy
- 1 8-ounce can no salt added tomato sauce
- 1 14.5-ounce can light coconut milk
- ¾ cup frozen peas no need to thaw
- ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- Prepared brown rice or Homemade Naan; for serving
- fresh cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or similar large, sturdy pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion. Cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is completely soft and the spices are very fragrant, about 3 minutes more.
- Add the chicken pieces, stir to coat with the spices and onion, and cook, stirring often, just until the outsides start to brown, about 4 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, coconut milk, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.
- Bring the pot to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low. Let simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the peas.
- Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes, and then stir in the Greek yogurt (do not stir in the Greek yogurt right away or it may curdle). Enjoy warm with rice or naan and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Notes
- *Garam masala is a blend of many spices and is very important to the final flavor of the recipe. It is available in most grocery stores and can also be found online here.
- TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm chicken tikka masala in a Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-low heat. You can also reheat this dish in the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. The texture of the sauce may change, but the flavors will still be delicious.
