Okay so yesterday morning, my husband took out what he said was a roasting chicken from the freezer to defrost. Well it was actually 8 pieces of kosher chicken packed together (kosher chicken is very flavourful chicken and you can buy it already cut up and vacuum packed). So I decided instead of roasting it to bake it in a sauce.
My kids are not fond of really spicy food (although they have become more tolerant over the years) so I mixed a jar of Patak's Tikka Masala with a large can of crushed tomatoes. After an hour in the oven, it's done, with leftovers for another day. I served this with whole wheat spaghetti and steamed fresh green beans. Okay sort of an Indian/Italian-style dinner.
Nancy's Chicken Tikka Masala (fast version)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 kosher chicken, cut up into 8 pieces and skinned removed
1 jar Patak's Original Tikka Masala (medium)
1 (796 ml) crushed tomatoes (I used Unico)
*Preheat the oven to 350F. Brown the chicken pieces on both sides. Place the chicken pieces in a roasting pan so there is one layer. Pour the sauces on top and mix it up a bit. Place a piece of foil loosely on top and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes.
