Chicken Tikka Masala

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup(s) low fat plain yogurt
• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp ginger root, fresh, grated
• 2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), cut into 2-inch chunks
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
• 1 small jalape¤o pepper(s), minced
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 8 oz canned tomato sauce
• 1 cup(s) fat free evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped
• 2 cup(s) cooked white rice, basmati, kept hot

Instructions

1. To prepare chicken, in a large bowl, whisk together first seven ingredients; add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
2. Preheat outdoor grill, stovetop grill pan or nonstick skillet.
3. Skewer chicken pieces onto four metal or wooden skewers. Grill or cook skewers in a hot skillet until chicken is cooked through, turning frequently, about 5 to 7 minutes. (Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent charring.)
4. To make sauce, heat oil in a large, high-sided skillet (or wide saucepan) over medium heat. Add remaining minced garlic clove and jalapeno; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add remaining teaspoon of cumin and paprika and stir to coat. Add tomato sauce and evaporated milk, reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Remove grilled chicken from skewers. Add to tomato mixture and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Serve with rice.

Notes

Yields about 1 cup of chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.
