How to make chicken tikka masala easy – Best Tips & Tricks
1. Adapt this easy chicken tikka masala recipe to your taste
You can make this easy chicken tikka recipe with skinless boneless chicken breast or thighs, or even with turkey.
Keep in mind that it’s important to chop the meat into even bite-sized pieces so that they will all cook at the same time.
Also, if time allows, you should marinate the chicken and I’ll explain how in the next section.
Another thing to adjust is the spiciness level. I like super spicy food so I added a few extra slices of chili but everyone’s tastes are different so it’s best to adjust it to yours.
2. How to make chicken tikka marinate
There are probably quite a few chicken tikka marinates out there, but here’s one of the best:
In a small bowl, mix the spices well (see them in the recipe below).
Place the chicken into a ziploc bag together with half of the spices, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of yogurt.
Mix well to combine, then let it chill for 4-6 hours.
This is a pretty simple and yet super flavored way of marinating chicken tikka. No fancy ingredients or anything like that.
Now let’s move further and see what to serve with chicken tikka masala.
3. What to serve with chicken tikka masala
By far, the best side dish for this homemade chicken tikka masala is cooked brown rice. But you can also serve it with pita or Naan bread, or with salads, like Thai rice salad or Quinoa chopped salad.
Here are some other ideas that you can serve with chicken tikka: green salad, fresh chopped salad, roasted veggies, steamed potatoes.
Take your pick and let me know which one you think is best with this homemade chicken tikka masala.
And lastly, keep in mind that this easy chicken tikka masala recipe is perfect for meal planning.
After making it, you can divide it into 4 glass containers and you can refrigerate it for up to 5 days. Or, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
It’s best to place it in ovenproof glass containers so that when you want to eat it, you’ll just have to throw it in the oven or the microwave and warm it up. Less effort and fewer dishes to wash.
