Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup chopped green chilies
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 4 tablespoons fat-free plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1/2 tablespoon tikka masala
  • 2 drops red food coloring
  • salt to taste
  • 2 5 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • nonstick cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Combine chilies, cilantro, yogurt, tomato paste, ginger paste, garlic paste, tikka masala, food coloring, and salt in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, up to overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; flip and spray with cooking spray. Continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes more. Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.
