Chicken Tikka Masala

About This Recipe

Chicken thighs coated in tikka masala sauce with rice and broccoli. Using a store bought tikka masala sauce can speed up the time it takes to cook this meal.  Using premade sauces for ease isn’t something I do often but it greatly speeds up the process.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 16 oz frozen broccoli ⁣
  • 6 oz frozen peas⁣
  • 8 oz shredded carrots⁣

  • 2.5 cups cooked rice ⁣
  • 1 tbsp olive oil⁣
  • Parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook enough rice to have 2 ½ cups worth. ⁣

  4. Add the chicken and sauce. Stir to incorporate. ⁣
  5. Cook the broccoli in the microwave. ⁣
  6. This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your ingredients evenly between 5 containers. Put ½ cup of rice in each dish. ⁣
