I love Indian food. It’s one of my favorite go-to meals when I’m lacking inspiration. A lot of that has to do with the fact that my dad was from India and so I grew up with authentic Indian cuisine almost every night. I really didn’t appreciate it growing up, but now I definitely have a taste for it. Introducing Garam Masala Chicken straight from the heart of India.
The other day, I had some chicken breasts and less than 30 minutes to throw dinner together. I came up with this recipe, and every single one of my kids had seconds, a couple even thirds! That’s when I know it’s definitely a blog-worthy recipe!

Great article! I recently received RawSpiceBar’s indian spices- garam masala and tandoori spices for making chicken tikka masala and it was pretty spot on. It’s tough to find freshly ground kashmiri chiles and other high quality hard to find spices. Look forward to receiving next month’s spice blends from them and worth looking into if you’re an adventurous cook.
