Anyway, we've all evolved, and part of my evolution is keeping staples in the pantry/freezer to throw together a quick and easy meal. This dinner (dubbed Chicken Tikka Leakka by my husband) is always good. One dish on the stove plus 2 minutes in a hot oven for the Naan and dinner is served.
What you need to serve two (increase proportionately to feed larger groups):
2 smallish cubed chicken breasts
1 (15 oz.) jar TJ's Masala Simmer Sauce
1/2 C. chicken broth
1 1/2 C. frozen peas
Hot sauce, to taste
Serve with Trader Joe's Garlic Naan (in the frozen aisle). You won't be sorry. Unless you don't like garlic. Then you will be very, very sorry.
Come to mama.
Saute the chicken. Drain, don't drain, doesn't matter.
Add Masala sauce. Pour chicken broth in Masala jar and shake to clean jar and add extra sauciness to the dish (all the better to clean up with the Naan, m'dear).
Plus peas = fiberiffic and pretty. If we're not sharing with the boys, I add a generous splash of hot sauce at this point. If we are sharing with the boys, no hot sauce and I serve over rice (for them).
20 minutes start to finish.
Is it authentic Indian food? Of course not. I'm in Ann Arbor, not on Devon Street in Chicago. Or, say, in India. But for a good, quick meal? Standby.
