This Chicken Tikka Masala is filled with tender chicken bathed in a deliciously aromatic sauce! This recipe comes from Café Delites. If you’ve never tried Indian cuisine, I would HIGHLY recommend giving this recipe a try, along with the amazing Buttery Garlic Naan Bread that goes along with this dish. 

Be sure to head on over to give a big thanks to Café Delites for this amazing tikka masala!

For this recipe, I used my new Pampered Chef favorite product, the Garlic Prep Tool, along with my 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet:

Garlic Prep Tool:

Prep Garlic Your Way

Sliced and diced garlic, and everything in between can change the final flavor and intensity in your meals. Get the perfect prep every time with this versatile garlic prep tool. Roll your garlic clove in the helpful peeler to get rid of its skin, then slice, dice, or paste all with the same tool. Clean the blades easily with the included brush and cleaning plates perfect for removing leftover garlic bits—and the whole tool is dishwasher-safe!

Sliced: When you slice garlic, you’ll get a mild flavor in a dish. Great for sautés and stir fries. You’ll get some bites of fresh garlic and will see it throughout the dish.

Diced: Fairly strong flavor. Great for chili, pasta sauce, or soup when they are simmered for a while.

Pressed: Pressed garlic provides a bold, intense garlic taste to a dish. Great for salad dressings, soups, sauces, marinades, and dips. It distributes easily into dishes.

Paste: Garlic paste is the strongest form of garlic flavor since the entire clove has been broken down. Soups and cooked sauces.

Ingredients:

For the Marinade

• 28-ounces boneless chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1.5 tablespoons diced garlic
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Chili
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion finely diced
• 1.5 tablespoons diced garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
• 1.5 teaspoons garam masala
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 14-ounces tomato puree
• 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Chili
• 1 teaspoon ground red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• ¼ cup water only if needed to thin sauce
• 4 tablespoons cilantro freshly chopped for garnish

Instructions

Combine chicken thighs with marinade ingredients until chicken is thoroughly coated.  Cover and refrigerate, marinating 10 minutes – overnight, if possible.

Prep vegetables – chop onion, dice garlic, grate ginger.

To cook – heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken to pan, cooking 3 minutes per side until nicely browned.  Remove chicken to platter and set aside.

Add butter to the pan and, when melted, add the onions.  Cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, then add in the garlic and ginger, cooking an additional minute until fragrant. 

Add the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and coriander to the skillet, stirring to incorporate.

Pour in the tomato puree, along with add in the chili powders and salt.  Simmer 10-15 minutes.

Add the heavy cream and sugar to the sauce, mixing to incorporate.

Combine the chicken and any accumulated juices with the sauce in the pan, and simmer an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved water to thin it out.  Serve immediately with Jasmine rice and naan bread.
