Paleo Chicken Tikka Masala is another dish, converted to remove added sugars, grains, for a quick, healthy dinner! It can be prepped quickly and easy and is suitable for gluten-free, paleo, keto, and Whole30 (hello, January Whole30!).

Paleo Chicken Tikka Masala
Indian Food & Anti-inflammatory Spices

I love Indian food, especially with the health benefits of all the anti-inflammatory spices used. However, with a tree nut allergy, and nuts being a common and well-hidden ingredient in Indian cuisine, I am left to create my own dishes at home. Luckily, being a wellness junkie, I like having the control over the ingredients anyways. Plus, added bonus, I didn’t have to write this recipe; my Mom created this recipe for me <3.

*Interesting fun wellness fact, but being an avid follower of Vani Hari (Food Babe), a blogger who often compares the processed foods in other countries to that of America. I decided to look up the cuisine in India vs America, especially since I noticed most chicken tikka recipes contained so many additional healthy spices. As of currently, I found a couple articles (article 1 and article 2) that showed correlation between fresh foods/spices and lowered healthcare costs. India did great in comparison to America.

Moral of the story: incorporate lots of spices into your home cooked meals, such as done in Indian cuisine.

Paleo Chicken Tikka Masala

I’ve made several Indian dishes that are amazing but take hours to make. This Paleo Chicken Tikka Masala is easy to make and will be a pretty quick dish; ready in 30 minutes or less. It begins by sautéing the vegetables. Then spices are added and sautéed another couple of minutes.

Tomato sauce and coconut milk are mixed in and simmered until thickened. Chicken is sautéed and mixed in, then everything is served over riced cauliflower (or rice if you’re not doing keto, paleo, or Whole30). It really is that easy!

Here’s to fighting inflammation and regaining our sparkle together,
