Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 1.5 lb chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces) with 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tsp garam masala, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook 1 cup white rice according to package instructions until fluffy, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice and cook for 1 minute more, until the sauce is slightly thickened and coats the chicken.
Step 5
Serve the chicken tikka over the cooked rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds.
Step 6
Enjoy hot, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
