Step 1
Original chicken tikka recipe calls for grilled chicken. We can use grilled chicken or to make it quick, or cook the chicken in the skillet.
Optional step for chicken grilled
*Chicken grill steps can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill. Reheat before serving.
Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside the sheet. Arrange chicken on a rack in a single layer. Broil until chicken starts to blacken in spots (it will not be cooked through), about 10 minutes.
When not using grilled chicken
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat. Put chicken and cook chicken for 5 minutes.
