Chicken tikka masala features tender grilled chicken pieces simmered in a luscious spiced tomato cream sauce. This high protein chicken recipe is ideal for family meals and works well within a 1600 calorie diet plan.
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, 1 tsp garam masala, cumin, coriander, salt, half the minced garlic, and ginger. Toss chicken pieces to coat, then cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange marinated chicken on a lined baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through.
While chicken cooks, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions for 7 minutes until golden and softened, adding remaining garlic during the last minute.
Add tomato puree, remaining garam masala, turmeric, paprika, and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often, until thickened and aromatic.
Pour in heavy cream, stir to combine, then add roasted chicken pieces to the sauce. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes to meld flavors and ensure chicken is tender. Serve hot.
