And the chicken is perfectly tender with the creamiest, most flavor-packed sauce ever! Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks.

Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
Instructions to make Chicken Tikka Masala:
- Heat butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion, peppers until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Stir chicken into hot oil, sprinkle with curry powder and sear chicken until lightly browned but still pink inside, about 3 minutes, stir often.
- Stir in garlic, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cumin, 1 tsp salt, ginger, cayenne, cinnamon and tumeric, fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in tomato sauce, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes, then mix in cream, paprika and 1 tbls sugar. Bring sauce back to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until sauce has thickened, 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer chicken and any pan juices Into the sauce. Simmer chicken in sauce until no longer pink. About 30 minutes. Adjust salt and sugar to taste.
- Serve over basmati or jasmine rice. Top with chopped cilantro.
- Note: sugar is optional in this recipe. The bell peppers (to me) add enough sweetness. You can also adjust the cayenne level to your liking. The heavy cream really tames down the heat.
- Enjoy!!
