Chicken Tikka Masala Chili
My roomates are getting sick of soup, but I don’t care. I could eat soup every night when it’s cold out, so soup Mondays live on! Todays soup is a tasty cross between chili and chicken tikka masala, two dishes that have similar flavors overlapping between them. So is this a chicken chili with curry powder, or a chicken tikka with beans? You decide.
First you make the chicken tikka. Pop these guys in the fridge overnight with this amazing marinade.
Day of, saute some onions and peppers. Then toss in your curry powder followed by some tomatoes and coconut milk.
Meanwhile, grill off the chicken and onions.
Chop up the chicken and onions, and toss them right into the pot. Now some yummy grill flavor is right in the chili!
Cauliflower and beans finish it off.
Cilantro and naan are the final touches on this soup to remember.
My roomates didnt exactly complain when this was set before them.

I used to not like Indian food and it was chicken tikka masala that turned me into a fan. Awesome idea to make it into a chili!
This is so wonderfully tasty! I enjoyed the flavor combination 🙂
