Ingredients

Chicken breasts

2, cut into bite-sized pieces

Greek yogurt

1/2 cup

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Garam masala

2 teaspoons

Ground cumin

1 teaspoon

Ground coriander

1 teaspoon

Turmeric

1/2 teaspoon

Cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Butter

2 tablespoons

Onion

1, finely chopped

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 inch piece, grated

Tomato sauce

1 cup

Heavy cream

1/2 cup

Fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish

Cauliflower rice

2 cups, cooked

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant.
5. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, spreading the pieces out evenly. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Pour in the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Stir well to combine with the chicken and spices.
7. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the sauce should thicken up nicely.
8. Serve the Chicken Tikka Masala over a bed of cauliflower rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
9. Enjoy the rich and vibrant flavors of your Keto Chicken Tikka Masala!
