class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-bold\" id=\"notes-and-tips\">NOTES &#038; TIPS<\/h3><strong>(1) Chicken.<\/strong> I use fresh chicken; if yours is frozen, defrost in the refrigerator until thawed before using in this recipe. I use chicken breasts and they come out tender and moist, and don\u2019t get tough. I haven\u2019t tested with other cuts, but chicken thighs should also work well.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(2) Greek Yogurt.<\/strong> Greek yogurt is used because of its thick consistency; don\u2019t use American yogurts, which would result in a watery marinade. Select one with at least 2% fat, plain flavor, and unsweetened. I use the Fage brand. This can\u2019t be substituted with sour cream.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(3) Garam Masala.<\/strong>\u00a0This is one of those spices that can\u2019t be easily substituted because it gives a characteristic taste to Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala. It\u2019s a blend of ground Indian spices including pepper, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cumin. You can easily buy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JVs5Hk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">garam masala<\/a>\u00a0online, or you can find it at many U.S. supermarkets.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(4) Heavy Whipping Cream.<\/strong> I haven\u2019t used anything other than dairy-based cream, but readers have told me that they have successfully substituted some or all of the cream with half and half or coconut milk. I think the taste of coconut milk would go wonderfully with the flavors in chicken tikka masala, especially if you use full-fat coconut milk. For a thicker, luxurious sauce, a better substitution might be coconut cream.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(5) Cayenne.<\/strong> This amount yields medium spiciness; adjust as needed to match your preferences. Cayenne can be substituted with 1 diced jalape\u00f1o with seeds removed.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(6) Nonstick Pan.<\/strong> I use a nonstick saut\u00e9 pan, 10 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall. Pans without high sides, like frying pans or skillets, may not be large enough to comfortably hold the sauce.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(7) Leftover Marinade.<\/strong> The chicken is cooked along with any marinade sticking to it, and any leftover marinade in the bowl is not used again. If desired, you can save the leftover marinade and stir it into the sauce in the next step.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(8) Working In Batches.<\/strong> Searing the chicken in 2 batches prevents the pan from cooling too much, resulting in a better sear.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(9) Serving.<\/strong> As an optional garnish, top with chopped fresh cilantro. Like many Indian dishes, chicken tikka masala is often served with basmati rice and naan. You can replace them with lower carb options like fried cauliflower rice, low carb tortillas, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/roasted-vegetables\/\">roasted vegetables<\/a>. I suggest pairing with some kind of side dish because this recipe makes a generous amount of tikka masala sauce \u2014 you&#8217;ll want something to help sop it up!<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(10) Similar Dishes.<\/strong> This recipe can also be made in a Crockpot (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/slow-cooker-chicken-tikka-masala\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala<\/a>) or Instant Pot (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/instant-pot-chicken-tikka-masala\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Pressure Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala<\/a>), or converted to a vegetarian dish (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/cauliflower-curry\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Cauliflower Curry<\/a>). It\u2019s also very similar in flavor to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/butter-chicken\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Butter Chicken<\/a>, which has a less spiced and more buttery curry sauce.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<a id=\"photos-and-tips\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3246,2598,2605,1432],"tags":[164,14,121,2702,493,19,227,1508,599,24,18,1965,1968,230,1666,312,495],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
