Chicken Tikka Masala – 7pts

Categories: Indian, WW, dinner

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. To make chicken, in a large bowl, whisk together first seven ingredients. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl and marinate 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 for 5 to 7 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, turning frequently. (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 and cook 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. Yields about 1 cup of chicken and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.
