Quick Answer

Warm shredded Costco rotisserie chicken in butter, stir in Sukhi's tikka masala sauce and a splash of cream, simmer 10 minutes, and serve with warm Stonefire naan. Indian takeout-quality dinner in 25 minutes; serves 4.

Tikka masala is one of the most popular Indian dishes in the world, and Costco carries everything you need to make a legitimately good version at home in 25 minutes. Sukhi's tikka masala sauce (or similar) sold at Costco is made with real spices and has a depth of flavor that rivals good takeout. Combine it with rotisserie chicken and serve with Stonefire naan and you have a dinner that will replace your takeout order.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and toss for 2 minutes to lightly brown.

  2. 2

    Pour in tikka masala sauce. Stir to coat the chicken. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Stir in heavy cream and garam masala. Simmer on low for 10–12 minutes until the sauce has thickened and deepened in color.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust salt. The sauce should be rich, slightly tangy, and aromatic.

  5. 5

    Warm naan directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side, or in a 400°F oven for 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve tikka masala over rice or with naan alongside for scooping. Garnish with cilantro, jalapeño, and lime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to warm Costco Stonefire naan?+
Directly over a gas burner for 30 seconds per side gives the best result — slight char marks and a smoky flavor that makes it taste freshly made. Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes. Microwaving makes it soft but loses the texture.
Can I make tikka masala from scratch instead of using jarred sauce?+
Yes — a basic tikka masala sauce is onion, garlic, ginger, canned tomatoes, garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cream. It takes about 30 minutes. The Sukhi's jar saves that time and is genuinely good quality, making it a worthwhile shortcut on a weeknight.
Is tikka masala spicy?+
Traditional tikka masala is mild to medium — the tomato and cream base tempers the spice. Sukhi's version is also mild. If you want more heat, add ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper when you add the garam masala.
What rice should I serve with tikka masala?+
Long-grain basmati rice is traditional and perfect — its light, aromatic grain doesn't compete with the sauce. Cook it in slightly less water than usual for firm, separate grains. Costco's pre-cooked basmati rice packs are a useful shortcut here.
