About CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA, CHICKEN

Simply Balanced Chicken Tikka Masala is a prepared cooked chicken entrée from Target's Simply Balanced store brand, featuring a tikka masala sauce made with organic whipping cream and Greek yogurt for a richer dairy profile than some other variants in the Target lineup. Simply Balanced was Target's natural and organic private-label tier before the 2019 Good & Gather rebrand.

The cooked chicken uses chicken meat (rather than breast-specific cuts) processed with cornstarch, kosher salt, dextrose, dehydrated vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and natural flavor. The tikka masala sauce features diced tomatoes with salt, calcium chloride, and citric acid as the base, then adds organic whipping cream (pasteurized organic cream), Greek yogurt (cultured pasteurized grade A milk, cream, condensed skim milk, whey protein concentrate, tapioca starch, and pectin), onion, tomato paste, a whole spice mix (turmeric, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves), kosher salt, garlic, soybean oil, ginger, dehydrated vinegar, chile de arbol, crushed red chili flakes, cardamom, and natural flavor. Allergens include dairy (organic cream, Greek yogurt, whey protein) and soy (soybean oil).

Nutritionally, this variant provides 171 calories per 100 grams, 17.14 grams of protein, 4.29 grams of carbohydrates, and 9.29 grams of fat with no reported fiber. The high protein content (17.14g/100g) is the highest among the Target tikka masala products in this dataset, attributable to the protein-dense chicken-to-sauce ratio. This product is not appropriate for dairy-free or vegan diets. It appears free of gluten based on the ingredient disclosure.
