Really delicious chicken tikka and just like you get at Indian restaurants or possibly better! Very healthy too! Garnish with sliced onion and lemon wedges. Serve with steamed rice or naan. Can also be made on the grill.

Ingredients

½ cup chopped green chilies
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
4 tablespoons fat-free plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1/2 tablespoon tikka masala
2 drops red food coloring
salt to taste
2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Combine chilies, cilantro, yogurt, tomato paste, ginger paste, garlic paste, tikka masala, food coloring, and salt in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; flip and spray with cooking spray. Continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes more. Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

You can use garam masala instead of tikka masala.
