Overview
Our version of this classic dish will be ready to go in 15 minutes! Tender, pre-marinated chunks of all-natural chicken breast (yogurt, spices) get pan-seared and then mixed with a mildly spiced masala sauce made with cream, tomato, and traditional Indian seasonings. Served with basmati rice, cauliflower and naan bread.
Cooking instructions
- Place the medium pot on medium-high heat with 1 cup of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the basmati rice. Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with the lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat. Let the rice rest for 10 minutes and set aside until plating. Wash then trim and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces as needed, to be used in Step 3.
- Place the large sauté pan on medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of high heat cooking oil (such as soy, canola, sunflower oil). Pre-heat the pan for 3 minutes or until the oil is very hot. Carefully place the marinated chicken in the pan (spread it out for better browning). Heat the first side of the chicken for 2-3 minutes then flip over and brown the other side for 2-3 minutes more.
- Turn the burner down to medium. Add the cut cauliflower to the pan then sprinkle with a dash of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Now pour in the masala sauce plus rinse the container out with 2 tablespoons of hot water and add that as well. Bring the sauce to a low boil, add the green peas, and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste then add salt, pepper or a dash pinch of cayenne pepper for added spiciness.
- While the chicken tikka masala is cooking, Heat the naan bread until warm in the toaster. Turn off all heating elements.
- For plating, divide the rice between two shallow bowls. Spoon on the chicken tikka masala. Enjoy the naan on the side!
