Turmeric Adds A Gorgeous Pop Of Color

In this dish, we use ground turmeric to give the chicken a nice, vibrant color. You’ll find turmeric in both the marinade and as a quick sprinkle for extra flavor.

Turmeric also delivers healthy anti-inflammatory properties to this meal, meaning it boosts the immune system and fights inflammation.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Ensure your chicken is fully cooked. Here’s an easy way to ensure your chicken is ready: Slice into the thickest part of the chicken, and if the juices run clear, it means the chicken is cooked. If the juices are red or pink, let the chicken cook longer until juices run clear.
• Don’t skip the marinade. While 15 minutes is a short period for marinating, it’s vital to imparting big, bold, turmeric-infused flavors to this dish.
