Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken Tikka Masala
Another really easy, flavorful chicken recipe. I like cooking with chicken tenders because you can pound them a little bit and they are so incredibly moist. If you can’t find tenders just buy the breasts and pound the chicken and cut into strips. Hope you have a great Sunday!
CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA RECIPE
1 cup fat free greek yogurt
1 T lemon juice
1 t cumin
1 t cinnamon
1 t cayenne pepper
1 t ancho chili powder
1 T ginger, minced
salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 t cumin
2 t paprika (I used smoked)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup fat free plain greek yogurt
1 1/2 lbs. chicken tenders or chicken breasts
cilantro, chopped for garnish
Combine the first 7 ingredients. Season chicken with salt and pepper, pour yogurt mixture over it, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Cook tenders over medium heat in a grill pan coated with a bit of olive spray for 3 minutes per side, or until done. Saute garlic and jalapeno in a bit of olive oil spray in a skillet and add cumin, paprika, and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cook for 5 minutes. Add yogurt and grilled chicken, just to reheat the sauce and the chicken, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Oh yum! This sounds like such a great chicken recipe! All the flavors of tikka masala without all of the mess =)
there was no mess at all! and all the flavors were there. i’m beginning to really love plain greek yogurt. yum!
We love your website. Last night we made this…just happened to have a Costco sized tub of Greek Yogurt expiring this week. It was great! We will be trying more of your recipes…thank you for sharing! Can we sign up for auto email notifications whenever you post something new? Thank you.
I made this last night. Followed the recipe to a T, but, I’m sorry, it was disgusting! It was no more like tikka masala, than an apple is like an orange. I’ve now tried 2 chicken recipes from here, and both have been disappointments.
sorry you didn’t like it.
Made this tonight and unlike previous poster, I thought it was really tasty! A little too spicey for my taste, but I now know to tone it down next time. Keep up the awesome work Janice.
thanks Catherine. yea, you can’t please everyone but i sure try! let’s face it, we’re on a diet. and it could be a LOT worse!! ha!
