Chicken Tikka Masala 🍛 step by step
Chicken Marinade; mix all of the chicken marinade ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Put in your chicken and make sure each breast is completely covered. Leave the chicken in the marinade sauce for an hour or if your preparing early you can leave in the fridge covered up over night for best results..
Your Marinated Chicken; After 1 hour or over night depending how how long you decided to marinade your chicken for, cook in a good pan. Place a bit of butter in the pan and add your chicken when pan and butter has heated up. Cook on a low heat! Allow your chicken to cook for a few minutes each side to brown, then cover up somewhere out the way while you make your Tikka Masala Sauce. You can finish cooking your chicken later in the sauce..

Best served with basmati rice. Why not add Nan bread, onion bhajis, vegetable somosas and popadums. I have made my own homemade onion dip using half a cucumber, half an onion, a pinch of fresh coriander, splash of soy sauce, a pinch of fresh mint and a squeeze of fresh lemon 😋.
Chicken Tikka Masala will freeze up to two months. Store in large, zip-top freezer bags and lay them flat in the freezer. My husband gave this chicken tikka masala recipe. For this chicken tikka masala recipe, the yogurt helps tenderize the chicken; the garlic, ginger, and spices in the marinade infuse it with lots of flavor.
