Are you tired of the same old bland dinners? Give this chicken tikka masala a try. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, this dish is known for its rich flavor and comforting appeal. Bite-sized chicken pieces are marinated in a mixture of yogurt, cumin, paprika, and garam masala to tenderize and flavor the meat. Once marinated, the chicken is baked in the oven, then simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce infused with aromatic spices. The tanginess of the tomatoes balances the richness of the cream and the boldness of the spices, infusing every mouthful with depth. Pair with fluffy steamed rice or buttery garlic naan for the most flavorful dinner ever!
