Well Friday night is here and it's also the first night of Channukah. So what better to do on tonight than make an amazing dinner full of Chicken Tikka, Basmati Rice, and my version of Chana Sag!

Chicken Tikka

Combine all ingredients and marinate with Chicken for 2-3 hours covered and refrigerated
Once the chicken is almost marinated preheat your oven to about 400 degrees. Using a cast iron skillet, preheat the pan in the oven for about 10 minutes. Once the pan is hot, layer the chicken into the pan and bake for 10-15 minutes turning once.
While the chicken is cooking time to make the Chana Sag!
