Chicken Tikka Masala: Preparation

1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of masala mixture. Stir to combine the spices and oil and toast the spices for about 30 seconds.

2. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute longer.

3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it, seasoned side down, into the pan. Then season the top side again with salt and pepper and stir to incorporate into the spice mixture. Push the chicken to one side of the pan and add the onions to the other half. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir the onions into the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

4. Add the tomato paste and stir, then add the coconut milk and tomato puree. Stir to combine and cook until the chicken is done, about 2-3 minutes longer and cut the heat.

5. Portion out 150 grams of spaghetti squash into six containers.

6. When the chicken is done, season the sauce with salt and pepper and the remaining Masala mixture.

7. Fold in the fresh cilantro and then divvy up the chicken and sauce over the spaghetti squash. Use a scale to measure accurately.

8. Refrigerate for up to one week or freeze for up to 6 months.

9. Enjoy!
