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.
