Chicken tikka masala is a classic Indian dish that has become popular all over the world. This variation on the traditional recipe adds artichoke hearts for a unique twist on the flavor and texture of the dish. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful yogurt mixture before being cooked in a spicy tomato-based sauce. It's a great dish to serve with plain rice or naan bread for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, grated garlic and ginger, Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and black pepper.
2.Add in the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3.In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and light butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced serrano pepper and stir for about 30 seconds.
4.Add the tomato paste, garam masala, and paprika and stir for about 1 minute.
5.Stir in the diced tomatoes and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and cook until the tomatoes start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.
6.Stir in the marinated chicken and any excess marinade, along with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
7.Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and the chopped fenugreek leaves.
8.Add in the half-and-half and stir until the sauce is heated through.
9.Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves.
