Paleo Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Marinade Ingredients:

1 cup plain yogurt (I usually use greek, but you can use any kind of plain yogurt!)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp garam masala (you can substitute cinnamon instead)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp ginger
2 tsp salt
4 boneless chicken breasts (cut into bite sized pieces)

Sauce:

1 jalapeno, finely diced
6 cloves garlic
1 tbsp butter
4 tsp cumin
4 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
16 oz tomato sauce
16 oz coconut milk

Garnish:
Freshly chopped cilantro

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, garam masala, cayenne, pepper, ginger, and salt. Place in zip lock bag along with chicken and let marinate for 1 hour.

Grill chicken until juices run clear (about 15 minutes).

Melt butter in a skillet. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Add cumin, paprika, and salt. Stir in tomato sauce and coconut milk. Simmer on low for 20-25 minutes. Add grilled chicken and let simmer for 10 more minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro!
