Easy Spicy Tikka Masala Dinner Idea

I made spicy Tikka Masala tonight for dinner! It was so easy. This was my first time trying the spicy version of the sauce and I really liked it!

Ingredients:

• Protein of choice (I used chicken)

• Rice

• Spicy Tikka Masala simmer sauce

• Potatoes, chickpeas, etc (optional)

Directions:

1. Cut & season your chicken. I used cumin, salt, pepper, and turmeric.

2. Lightly cook your chicken until just white, I cooked in the air fryer. (Optionally) season and lightly cook sliced potatoes

3. Bring the tikka masala sauce on the stove to a simmer. Add the chicken and let sit until fully cooked (sauce container has a recommended time on the back). (Optionally) add chickpeas/cooked potato slices.

4. Serve over rice with naan!

Easy Crockpot Meal: Indian Butter Chicken
Unpopular opinion: I’m not a huge crockpot fan 🙈 Now don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of dump and go and how it makes your house smell delicious before dinner. I just feel like most of the recipes I’ve tried have all tasted similar and came out kind of blah no matter how much seasoning I used.
