Chicken Tikka Masala


One:

Preheat oven 400 degrees; Place 1-2 lb chicken tenders a large casserole dish.


Set aside, you will be putting sauce over it.


Two:


In a bowl, mix together: 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce


1 cup lowfat milk (any milk will do)


1 cup plain yogurt (I used greek)


2 Tablespoons lemon juice


2 Tablespoons cilantro if you can get it (chopped)



seasonings:

2 tsp EACH of minced garlic; ground cumin; ground coriander.


1 tsp EACH of cinnamon; salt; ground ginger; paprika; garam masala (I bought this from the spice bins at Top foods, and instead of paying $6 for a bottle, I paid .48 for enough for 3 recipes)


Add a dash or red pepper, or pepper flakes, as you like.


Pour the whole thing over the chicken and put it in the oven, covered with a lid or foil.


Three:


Bake 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Halfway through start making a big pot of jasmine rice.


Eat!


Serve the chicken with lots of sauce over jasmine rice. I like to serve it in a bowl. A good vegetable with it would be steamed carrots, or green beans, or sauteed zucchini. A pot of jasmine tea at the table and dinner is ready!


Serves 2-4, depending how much chicken you use.
