I love Indian food, but to be quite honest, cooking it at home is extremely intimidating. I think I found an easy Masala recipe that could easily be cooked during the week.
Enjoy!

Easy Chicken Masala Adapted from Epicurious
Ingredients:
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garam masala*
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 large garlic clove, pressed
4 chicken breasts or 2-3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 small onions, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Directions:
1. Mix yogurt, chopped cilantro, olive oil, garam masala, salt, and garlic in glass baking dish. Add chicken to marinade, coating all sides. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably over night. Keep refrigerated.
2. Position racks in top third and bottom third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Arrange onions in thin layer on large rimmed baking sheet to form bed for chicken. Top with chicken pieces in single layer, spacing apart for even roasting (chicken will still be coated with marinade). Discard remaining marinade.
3. Cook chicken on top rack until cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with knife. Serve chicken atop onion slices. Spoon pan juices around.
* An Indian spice mixture; available in the spice section of many supermarkets and at Indian markets.
Serve basmati rice on the side
