HOW TO COOK CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA PIZZA
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Refrigerate the chicken for an hour after marinating it in the marinade.
- For grilling, line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Discard the remaining marinade and spread the marinated chicken in a single layer on the pan. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes at 450°F (232°C), flipping halfway through.
- Prepare the tomato sauce and the spice mix in separate dishes while the chicken is cooking. After cooking, remove the chicken from the pan and discard the fluid.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Garlic and jalapeño should be sautéed until fragrant. Pour the spice mix and cook for 1-2 minutes on medium heat or aromatic. Remove and discard the jalapeno.
- Stir in the tomato sauce until all is thoroughly combined. Season with salt to taste and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove the pan and stir in the chicken flesh until thoroughly combined.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius). Using olive oil, brush the pizza crust lightly and place it on a pizza pan. On the pizza crust, spread the sauce/gravy. 1/2 cup of cheese, sprinkled on top. Place the chicken on top of the pizza. The sliced onions, chopped cilantro, and cheese are spread over the top.
- Reduce the temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and top with chopped cilantro.
