With all the big flavors and convenience of takeout, store-bought masala simmer sauce makes a flavorful base for chicken and loads of vegetables in this better-for-you version of a classic curry.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 (15 oz) jar tikka masala curry simmer sauce
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/2 (16 oz) bag frozen cauliflower florets, thawed
1/2 (16 oz) bag frozen mixed pepper strips, thawed
In a large pot, heat the oil on medium-high. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to pot and cook 5–7 min., until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
To pot, add the simmer sauce. Drain any excess liquid from the spinach, cauliflower, and peppers and stir into sauce. Heat to a boil on high. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 5 min., stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste.
Meanwhile, heat the rice according to package directions. Serve tikka masala over rice and garnish with the cilantro.
