Chicken Tikka Masala
When I first made this it was so salty it wasn’t enjoyable. At all. I’d recommend dialing the salt way down (as is now reflected in the ingredients and directions).

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
