Enjoy the rich and aromatic flavors of chicken tikka masala with a streamlined recipe that delivers great flavor with minimal effort. Ready in just 30 minutes, this quick recipe delivers a delicious and creamy sauce thanks to a secret ingredient: a can of Pacific Foods® Organic Condensed Tomato Soup. This pantry must-have adds depth of flavor and a smooth, luscious texture, making this a surprisingly easy (and better-for-you) weeknight recipe shortcut.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown basmati rice
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 teaspoons garam masala (amount divided in recipe steps below)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled ginger root (from about a 1-inch piece)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) Pacific Foods® Organic Condensed Tomato Soup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Cook the rice according to the package directions.  While the rice is cooking, season the chicken with salt and pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala.  Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until browned.

  • Step 2

    Add the garlic, ginger, cayenne and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala and cook and stir for 1 minute.  Stir in the soup and water and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 4 minutes until the chicken is done.

  • Step 3

    Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the yogurt and lime juice. Serve the chicken mixture over the cooked rice and sprinkle with the cilantro, if desired.

  • Tips

    • You can also serve naan on the side, if you like.
