Garam Masala Chicken With Grilled Spinach And Corn Recipes

GRILLED MASALA CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Mix the olive oil, 4 teaspoons garam masala, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined. Tear four sheets (12x18 inches each) of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil. Center one chicken breast half on a sheet of foil; sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garam masala on both sides.
• Place the squash and onion slices on top of the chicken. Drizzle evenly with one-fourth of the olive oil mixture. Bring up foil sides. Double-fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make four packets.
• Grill over medium-high heat in covered grill 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into chicken registers 165 degrees F.
• Open packets carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then open top of foil packet. To serve, top with yogurt and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.

GARAM MASALA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and add the onions; cook another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic salt, and water to the chicken; stir. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garam masala through the mixture. Raise heat to medium and bring mixture to a boil. Cook until the chicken no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

EASY GARAM MASALA CHICKEN WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat to medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger, along with the garam masala, curry powder, coriander, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens.
• Add the cubed chicken breast and the tomato paste to the pan. Cook for a few minutes to brown the chicken a little. Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes over medium to medium-low heat.
• Add the coconut milk and mix to combine. Continue to cook on a low simmer for 10 minutes. Then add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve the garam masala chicken over whole grain basmati rice. Enjoy!

GARAM MASALA CHICKEN WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup oil, garam masala, ginger, garlic, and 1 tablespoon salt. Place chicken in a large baking dish or plastic bag, loosen the skin from the breast and legs of the chicken and, using your hands, spread a good part of the mixture underneath. Rub the remaining mixture inside the chicken cavity and over the skin. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Loosely cover, refrigerate, and let marinate 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
• Arrange the rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove chicken from marinade, let any excess drip off, and reserve marinade. Let chicken sit at room temperature while oven warms up, about 30 minutes.
• When the oven is heated, place potatoes, squash, and onions in bottom of a roasting pan, drizzle with any remaining marinade, remaining 1/4 cup oil, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and season well freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat. Place chicken, breast side up, on top of vegetables and roast until skin becomes brown and vegetables are starting to get tender, about 1 hour. Brush yogurt on chicken and continue roasting until chicken is well browned, juices run clear when inner thigh is pierced with a knife, legs move easily in the joint, and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the thigh registers160 to 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about another 40 to 50 minutes. Let chicken rest at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

GARAM MASALA CHICKEN WITH GRILLED SPINACH AND CORN

Steps:

• Wash and dry chicken pieces. Coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with garam masala and rub spice into chicken pieces. Place in plastic bag and let stand in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat grill to 350F. Place chicken pieces on higher level of grill, not on level directly above charcoal or burners. Close lid and cook 30-45 minutes, until skin is crispy and chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, wash spinach leaves and shake off excess moisture. Place spinach leaves (with small amount of moisture still clinging to leaves) in a foil grilling bag and place directly over burner. Let steam about 10 minutes until throughly wilted. Remove from heat and place in food processor. Combine garam masala and oil and rub on ears of corn. Bring husks up and place on grill to cook 20 minutes, turning as necessary. Remove from grill, remove husks and let cool. Puree spinach with creme fraiche. Remove corn kernels from ears and add to puree. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Puree can be rewarmed or served at room temperature.

GARAM MASALA CORNISH HENS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 tablespoons of oil, 1/2 tablespoon of butter, 4 teaspoons of garam masala, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ginger, 6 cloves of garlic, and 1 teaspoons of salt. Place hens in a large baking dish or plastic bag, loosen the skin from the breast and legs and, using your hands, spread a good part of the mixture underneath. Rub the remaining marinade inside the hen's cavity and over the skin. Loosely cover, refrigerate, and let marinate 30 min or up to 12 hours.
• Remove hens from marinade and left any excess drip off. Let hens sit at room temp while oven warms up, about 30 minutes. Place probe thermometer into thickest portion of the thigh making sure not to hit bone.
• Arrange the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Combine remaining 3/4 tablespoon oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt (more or less to taste) in a large bowl. Place cut vegetables in it and toss until the vegetables are well coated. Season veggies with freshly ground black pepper (to taste) Place at bottom of large roasting pan which has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
• Place hens breast side up on top of vegetables and bake for 15 min at 425 degrees F. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F. When internal temperature hits 145 degrees F, brush yogurt on hens. Make sure to just do a thin and light coating of yogurt. You don't want it to be very thick. When internal temperature hits 160 remove from oven and loosely cover with foil. This is also the time to check the vegetables in the pan and make sure that they're done to your liking. If you'd like them softer, simply put the vegetables back in the oven while the hens are resting.
• Let hens rest, covered, for 15 minutes which also insures that carryover cooking will take the temp up to above 165 degrees F, for example mine ended up at 166.4 degrees F which was perfect. If you're uncomfortable with this doneness, go ahead and roast until 165 degrees (which is the temperature which poultry must be at to be done and safe) and then let hens rest covered, for 15 minute After hens have rested cut each one in half, through the breast and backbone (I just use a big sharp knife or you could use poultry shears) so that each person gets a half a hen. Divide the vegetables among the four plates and serve with a simple green salad or some rice to round out the meal.
