Chicken tikka masala is a traditional English dish at curry houses filled with rich flavors that connect on many different levels. My biggest problem with tikka masala is that the chicken is often dry and overcooked, which can be easily fixed by using sous vide. This results in meat that is always moist and tender. Here's a lot more information on how to sous vide chicken breasts. When I want to try some more flavorful chicken, I often turn to Crowd Cow. There are many ingredients in this meal, but it comes together pretty quickly and there is always extra sauce that I freeze for later. If you prefer a richer tikka masala, you can stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or greek yogurt after you simmer the tomatoes. I usually serve this with white rice or cauliflower rice. If you would like more information about the techniques, ingredients, and equipment used in this recipe, you can check out the following. Want more great content like this?

Heat oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and jalapeño pepper and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, garam masala, and coriander then cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes then bring to a simmer for around 15 minutes. Blend well then stir in the honey, salt and pepper to taste then remove from the heat.
To Assemble
Take the chicken out of the sous vide bag. Dry them thoroughly using paper towels or a dish cloth. Quickly sear the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until just browned, then remove from the heat.
Place some sauce in a bowl, add the chicken to the sauce and top with a dollop of yogurt. Sprinkle with the cilantro then serve.
