Chicken Tikka with Ginger

It is very easy to make this chicken. It can be marinated and even frozen until you need to use it. Obviously it is ideal to marinate the meat overnight but if you don’t have time- a few hours will do.

The chicken pieces make a great dinner as well. A vegetable and a starch on the side and your meal is balanced and done.

For those who are extremely busy through the week or work outside the home, it is great idea to marinate a big batch of chicken and have it on hand. If time is a commodity- you can skip the almond part- it will still taste delicious!

• 1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
• ¼ cup almond paste- soak ¼ cup blanched almonds in ¼ cup hot water for an hour. Process the mixture till smooth.
• 2 tablespoon greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Juice of one lemon
• 2 teaspoons garam masala

Mix all the ingredients well and marinate the chicken over night or at least 2 to 3 hours.

Place the marinated chicken on a lined cookie sheet. Broil the pieces till golden brown on both sides.
