  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; cook until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in the tikka masala spice blend and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes, and bring to a simmer.

For extra flavor, marinate chicken in yogurt and tikka masala spices prior to cooking. Add chopped green chilies for heat, or include bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
