To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have chicken tikka masala using 15 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Chicken Tikka Masala:
  1. Get 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  2. Get 1 For the marinade:
  3. Prepare 2 tbsp curry powder, mild or medium
  4. Get 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  5. Prepare 1 tbsp finely grated, peeled fresh ginger
  6. Prepare 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  7. Take 1/2 cup natural yogurt
  8. Make ready 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  9. Make ready 2 For the masala sauce:
  10. Get 1 tbsp vegetable oil + 1 teaspoon to fry chicken
  11. Get 1 tbsp finely grated, peeled fresh ginger
  12. Make ready 1 large onion, chopped small
  13. Take 1 clove garlic clove, crushed
  14. Get 1 tbsp mild or medium curry powder
  15. Make ready 1 can Cream of Tomato soup

And the chicken is perfectly tender with the creamiest, most flavor-packed sauce ever! Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, and paprika and stir until well-coated. Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.

Instructions to make Chicken Tikka Masala:
  1. Mix the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish or large bowl.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite size pieces.
  3. Mix the chicken pieces into the marinade, cover and refridgerate for 1-3 hours (or overnight)
  4. When ready to cook, heat the oil in a large non stick pan. Add in the onions, garlic and ginger and cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring for another 2 minutes.
  6. Open the soup and pour it in (if using normal soup, you may just quarter fill the can with water, swill it around to get all the soup from around the sides and pour that in, but if it's concentrated soup, use a can and a half of water)
  7. Cook for 5 minutes, then blend until smooth (being careful with hot liquids)
  8. Heat the teaspoon of oil in a large pan (use the same one you used for the sauce, washed and dried, if you used a liquizer to blend your sauce)
  9. On a medium high heat, fry the marinated chicken, stirring to prevent sticking, for 3 minutes.
  10. Add the sauce back over the chicken and heat through until the chicken is thoroughly cooked (5-10 minutes, maybe longer…if, like me you are completely mad about getting chicken cooked right through! You may just need to add a little water to stop it drying out)
  11. Serve with plain boiled rice, fragrant spiced rice or naan breads.
