Makes 2 servings
Ingredients
• ¾ lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cubed• 1½ cups canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup cauliflower rice
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 2 scallions, trimmed and minced
• 3 tbsp sour cream
• 1½ tsp tikka masala or tandoori masala spice mix
• ½ cup water
Directions
1. Toss the cubed chicken with the salt, tikka masala (or tandoori masala) spice mix and scallions.2. Add the tomatoes and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the seasoned chicken and gently return to a boil, stirring frequently.
3. Simmer for about 15 minutes without a lid, allowing the tomatoes to reduce into a thick sauce. Stir occasionally and if needed, add more water during cooking.
4. Once sauce is thick, add the sour cream and mix well; set aside.
5. To cook the cauliflower rice, microwave the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl for 5 to 6 minutes. Alternatively, the cauliflower can be spread on a parchment-lined sheet pan and baked in the oven at 425°F for 20 minutes or sautéed for 3 to 4 minutes in a nonstick skillet.
6. For each serving, arrange ½ cup of cauliflower rice on a plate and top with about 1¾ cups of the chicken tikka masala. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of cilantro.
Tip: For a thicker sauce, puree the tomatoes in their juices.
Note: The color of the dish may vary depending on which spice mix you choose to use.
