Directions:
- Peel 1 ½ heads of garlic.

- Set the oven to broil (high). Place the tray of chicken into the oven for 10 minutes or until black spots begin to appear.
- Take the tray out of the oven and move the chicken into a large pan. Open the jar of Mayura Cuisine Organic Tikka Masala Sauce and pour it into the pan. Turn the stove to medium-high heat.
- Stir the chicken around until the chunks are submerged in the sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Blanch the broccoli in boiling water under tender.
