Chicken Tikka Masala is a classic Indian restaurant dish that’s rich, creamy, endlessly satisfying. This version replaces most of the heavy cream found in other recipes with Greek yogurt, making it lower in fat and... higher in probiotics.
Mix all marinade ingredients together in a large bowl to evenly coat chicken in marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to eight hours.
Warm oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and caramelize all sides. Reduce heat to medium, add onion and cook until translucent. Add ginger, garlic, dried herbs and spices, and salt. Stir to combine until ginger is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add leftover marinade and tomato puree, cooking until sauce darkens and thickens slightly. Then add cream and lemon to finish.
Simmer chicken gently until internal temperature reaches 165F with a food thermometer. Serve with rice and chopped cilantro, as desired.
