Chicken Tikka Masala

This recipe was so YUMMY!! Daniel and I really enjoyed it. We stole it off of my Sister (in-law)'s recipe blog. We will definately be making this again!

Chicken Tikka Masala
1 cup plain yogurt

1 T lemon juice

1 t ground cumin

1 t garam masala

1 t ground cinnamon

2 t paprika (if you want it spicy use cayenne pepper)

2 t black pepper

1 T ground ginger

1 t salt

2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Combine all ingredients except chicken. Pour sauce over chicken and refrigerate for at least one hour (I ended up marinading for a day and a half and it was great!). Grill or cook chicken in frying pan. Discard marinade.

1 T butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno pepper finely chopped (make sure to take out the seeds if you don't want it too spicy)

2 t ground cumin

2 t paprika

1/2 t salt

1 8-oz can tomato sauce
1 cup cream

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for one minute. Season with cumin, paprika and salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add grilled chicken to sauce to coat. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve over hot rice or couscous.
