Chicken Tikka Masala with #myQuorn

Yesterday, I was craving some Chicken Tikka Masala but with #nospendfebruary, I couldn't go to my favorite local indian place to buy some quick and tasty take out. Instead, I remembered that the nice people at Quorn had sent me a few coupons for free product and I had a bottle of Patak's simmer sauce in my cupboards. With a few tweaks and a hot pot of steamed rice, we had a yummy vegetarian meal that would have fooled even the most die hard of carnivores.

I picked up two different Quorn chicken products. The Chik'n Tenders and the Chik'n Nuggets. The nuggets were quite good, with a great chicken like texture, flavorful breading that was a good consistency. I bet it would fool many kids into thinking it was a non-vegetarian product. It stacks up much better nutritionally too with lower fat calories, lower saturated fat, lower cholesterol and higher dietary fiber.


The Chik'n tenders were also very good. My husband, ever the critic, tried some and noted that the Quorn product was actually more tender and juicy than regular chicken breast meat. He's not a fan of white meat so that's quite a compliment. Personally, I liked that it was so convenient, closely priced to regular chicken and easy to use.

Here's my on the fly recipe.

Chik'n Tikka Masala

Ingredients:
1 bag Quorn Chik'n Tenders
1 jar Patak's Simmer Sauce Tikka Masala
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup frozen peas

Directions:
1. Saute the Chik'n Tenders in a sauce pan with olive oil until little brown toasted parts start to show.

2. Pour in the entire jar of simmer sauce, adding water if too thick.

3. Add in sour cream and frozen peas. Bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.

4. Serve with white rice or naan bread. Enjoy!
