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.

Tender chicken wrapped in prosciutto with juicy tomatoes, mozzarella, basil in a delicious balsamic sauce – this recipe is a restaurant worthy dinner that’s easy enough to pull together any night of the week!  I found this recipe on Delish. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Delish has a TON of amazing recipes, including the one I’m featuring today! I gave their unlimited membership beginning over a year or so ago, so I am speaking from my own (read: they are not paying me for this review) experiences. The membership cost me $20 for the year, and it includes a wonderful year-long subscription to their quarterly magazine filled with delicious (and easy!) recipes, unlimited access to Delish recipes, members-only access to a one-on-one hotline to ask for help from their food editors, and other wonderful bonuses. You can learn more about their membership here; this is a code I found online, as I believe the normal cost is $35/year, but this code looks like you can still get it for $20/year, which is great! I have found it to be extremely useful, although I have not yet taken advantage of their hotline – yet. I used my Close & Cut to slice the tomatoes: Close & Cut

Cut, Slice & Halve With Ease

Keep hands clean, get even cuts, and prep efficiently with the Close & Cut Set. Slice through seedless grapes, halve bagels, and even butterfly chicken breasts with ease. The Close & Cut can easily hold up to 1 cup (250 mL) of food at a time for easy and quick cutting, and the ergonomic handle of the Coated Chef’s Knife makes it comfortable and easy to cut through anything. Plus, both are dishwasher-safe!

For this recipe, I used my Close & Cut, Citrus Juicer & Zester and Signature Nonstick Sauté & Steam Pan

Our large-capacity Citrus Juicer & Zester helps you avoid the bitter pith and minimizes pulp, so your refreshments taste incredible. Our juicer-and-zester has a strainer in its reamer and measurement markings, so you know exactly how much juice you’ve made. When you’ve finished creating the perfect refreshment or zesting fruit to your liking, just clean in the dishwasher. Prepping citrus couldn’t be simpler!

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp.  unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cupdry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 2 medium lemons, 1 zested and juiced
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced into rounds
  • 1 (17-oz.) package gnocchi
  • Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Directions

Peel and chop garlic. Zest and juice one lemon; juice second lemon, and slice third lemon into thin rounds. Set aside.

Slice chicken breasts in half; season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour.

In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter and oil until butter is melted. Working in batches, add chicken to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Cook garlic, stirring frequently, until fragrant and light golden, about 1 minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until almost reduced, 2 to 4 minutes.

Add broth, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of pan, then slowly stir in cream. Stir in capers, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest; season with salt and pepper, if needed. Add gnocchi and toss to coat in sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring frequently, until gnocchi is tender, 8 to 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Return chicken to skillet, turning to coat in sauce. Cook until chicken is warmed through, about 2 minutes more. Top with lemon rounds and parsley. Serve immediately.

  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring frequently, until gnocchi is tender, 8 to 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Return chicken to skillet, turning to coat in sauce. Cook until chicken is warmed through, about 2 minutes more. Top with lemon rounds and parsley. Serve immediately.

Tender chicken smothered in a velvety French onion sauce, topped off with loads of melty cheese, makes this recipe a keeper! I was inspired by a recipe from Delish; however, making it their way, with oil used for the onions and the general cooking time, did not work out for me.  The next time, I switched out the oil for butter, steamed the onions for 5 minutes, then slow cooked them for about 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until they were nicely browned.  I know it takes a bit longer, but it was time well spent for the depth of flavor in the end.

For this recipe, I used my Rapid-Prep Mandoline and my Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid:

Rapid-Prep Mandoline:

Upright Mandoline

Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.

And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!

Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid

Braising Pan and Skillet in One

Meet the perfect combination of skillet and Dutch oven. With a wide cooking surface, shallow sides, and oven-to-table design, whether a busy weeknight or relaxing weekend, you can braise, bake, sauté, simmer, or roast whatever’s on the menu. The self-basting lid adds juices back into whatever you’re cooking for added moisture and flavor.

This classic gray skillet has a light-colored enameled interior, which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this skillet has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table. Plus, cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 ¼ lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1” pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

Slice onion to about ¼”/6 mm thickness.  Chop garlic, set aside. Shred Gruyere cheese, set aside.

Heat butter over medium heat in cast iron skillet.  Add onions, thyme and salt, stir to combine.  Cover for five minutes.

Remove lid and let onions caramelize until golden brown and jammy over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes.

Add in garlic, cooking for one minute, or until fragrant.  Remove onion mixture from the skillet to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces, and combine with flour and oregano. 

Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat, then add in the chicken.  Cook for 8 minutes, until golden brown and nearly cooked.

Add onion mixture and broth to skillet, stirring to combine.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.  Simmer 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked and broth is slightly reduced.

Add Gruyere cheese to skillet, cover and cook an additional two minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Remove from heat, top with parsley and serve immediately.
