Delicious Chicken Tikka Recipe by Chef Doug

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken with a cup of creamy heavy cream, tangy lemon juice, zesty ginger, aromatic cumin, flavorful pepper, warm cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Let this delightful medley marinate in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to intermingle and evolve.

Step 2

Once the chicken has absorbed the marinade to your liking, warm a tablespoon of oil in a spacious pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, spicy jalapeno, and pungent garlic until they become tender and fragrant, which should take around 5 minutes. Introduce the tomato sauce and tomato paste to the mix, bringing it to a gentle boil before reducing the heat to a simmer to intensify the flavors.

Step 3

In another skillet, heat up the remaining oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook it with occasional stirring until it turns a lovely golden brown hue and is cooked through, which typically takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Adjust the creaminess of the sauce by incorporating more heavy cream if desired, creating a luscious light red sauce. Stir the concoction gently and let it simmer to allow the flavors to meld harmoniously for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Once the dish is ready, serve it up and relish in the delightful culmination of flavors and textures that you've artfully crafted.
