Chicken Tikka Masala

MARINADE (or use bottle of Garam Masala Sauce from Albertsons)
1 c. plain yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp ginger, minced

Marinade chicken for at least one hour. I go for half a day. Grill or broil, on skewers if desired, while sauce is cooking. I would double the sauce recipe below if using more than four small boneless skinless chicken breasts.

SAUCE
1 Tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (or other hot pepper)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garam masala
1 can tomato sauce, 8 oz.
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped

Melt butter on medium heat. Saute garlic and pepper. Add seasonings. Stir in tomato sauce. Simmer 15 minutes. Stir in cream. Simmer to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add cooked chicken to sauce and simmer for about an hour.

Goes nicely with basmati rice and naan.
