How to Make Chicken Tikka Masala Vegan Style

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the Gardein chicken scallopini with 1 tbsp tikka masala spice blend, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 tbsp olive oil. Ensure the 'chicken' is evenly coated.
3. Spread the marinated Gardein in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and heated through.
4. While the Gardein is baking, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
5. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch ginger (grated), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
6. Add 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, 1 cup vegetable broth, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp tikka masala spice blend, and 1 tsp garam masala. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Add the baked Gardein to the sauce and gently simmer for 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread.
