Chef Doug’s Flavorful Chicken Tikka

Ingredients 0/15

Step 1

Blend the chicken pieces with the heavy cream, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne in a bowl. Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour so all those flavors really soak in. When you're ready, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Toss in the onion, jalapeno, and garlic, and cook them until they’re nice and soft, about 5 minutes. Next, add the tomato sauce and tomato paste, bring it to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down and let it simmer.

Step 2

While that’s going, heat the rest of the oil in another pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through, which should take around 7 to 10 minutes. If you want a creamier sauce, stir in a little more heavy cream until you get a light red sauce that you like. Let everything simmer together for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors can blend. Then, it’s ready to serve!
