Ingredients for Bengal Tiger Chicken

How to Make Bengal Tiger Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Place 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish (9x13 inch).
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
  5. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese with a tablespoon of the sauce and sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. For doubled recipe: Use 1.5 cups mayonnaise instead of doubling the original amount.
  8. Serve this delightful chicken curry over fluffy jasmine rice.
  9. Enjoy immediately or savor the even better flavor the next day as leftovers!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
