Easy Creamy Chicken Masala

I made this up last night and it was REALLY GOOD! 

Serves 2 people and only 225 calories per serving.

Loaded with flavor and not with fat. This is a healthy dish that is simple enough to make any day. I was surprised how low calorie this dish was since it seamed to make a lot of food!
Suggest serving with a side of creamed spinach (to save time I buy the green giant steamers) and basmati rice. You can also choose to mix in peas. Calories from sides not included.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes


Ingredients

  •     1 (8 ounce can) 2 cups diced tomatoes in juice, No Salt Added (do not drain juice)
  •     1/2 cup Tomatoes Sauce No Salt Added
  •     1 1/2 tsp Garam Masala Spice (find in bulk food dispenser or ethnic foods isle)
  •     1/4 tsp Cajun Seasoning
  •     1/2 lb (8 oz) Chicken Breast Tenders, cubed
  •     1/2 cup Fat-Free Plain Yogurt (optional)
  •     1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or So Deliscuous unsweetened coconut milk


Directions

1.) Cube and cook the chicken in a large skillet/pan that can hold a lot of liquid and has a lid (you will need to cover)

2.) Add all ingredients except milk and yogurt

3.) Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Do not skimp on this step! Check halfway though to make sure nothing is burning, stir if necessary.

4.) Add milk and yogurt, continue to cook uncovered until sauce is thick. Stir so that sauce doesn't burn. You can be creative and add extra almond milk if you like. Also, SoDelicsious makes a low calorie (50 calories per cup) version of coconut milk that would work in this dish.
- serve with creamed spinach, rice, and/ or peas
