Sometimes my wife and I just want something quick, different and in this case spicy! After poking around the spice cabinet I found some seasonings to make tikka masala.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts, 4 – 5 oz cut into 1 inch squares
• Garam masala, 6 tsp
• Garlic powder, 2 tsp
• Cayenne powder, 1 tsp
• Adobo with black pepper seasoning, 2 tsp
• Garlic, 5 tsp minced
• Red onion, 1 medium sliced
• Ginger, 3 tsp fresh diced
• Tomatoes, 3 medium chopped
• Salt, 1/2 tsp
• Pepper, 1/2 tsp
• Olive oil, 3 Tbsp
• Heavy cream, 3/4 cup
• Flour, 1/4 cup

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl.
• Mix together the garam masala, garlic powder, cayenne powder, adobo seasoning with black pepper, 3 tsp of the minced garlic, salt and pepper, and olive oil.
  • Put the marinade over the chicken cubes and set aside.

• Mix the red onion sliced, 2 tsp garlic and ginger.
  • Add to a large pan over medium high heat and sauté with a little oil until soft.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.

• In the same pan add a little oil.
• Take the marinated chicken and coat with the flour.
• Add the chicken to the pan and sauté until almost cooked through.
• Add the onion, garlic and ginger mixture back into the pan.
• Add the heavy cream and cook on low to reduce for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the fresh tomatoes.
• Cook until the tomatoes are warmed through.

Served over basmati rice and with steamed broccoli completed the meal.

Enjoy!
