Saucy Ginger-Tomato Chicken

(1)

Inspired by the flavors of chicken tikka masala, this recipe uses convenient canned tomato soup, so you can get this dish on the table on any busy night. Rather than cooking the chicken in a tandoor, we add it directly to the sauce, so it gets coated in the ginger-tomato flavors.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
