Chicken Tikka Masala
"Please read the entire recipe before beginning. While the sauce is cooking, prepare the rice and chicken. There are several ingredients, but each brings something special so try to include them all. The recipe is long, but easy - I think you will love it and, hopefully, it will become one of your favorites. I have combined three recipes for this recipe: Pioneer Woman's which looks amazing but a tad more involved, Epicurious and Allrecipes Curry Stand Chicken Tikka Masala...."
