Ginger Turmeric Chicken is a quick and healthy recipe rich in anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts (I used whole chicken cut into 10 pieces in this recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 3 teaspoons ginger powder)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh turmeric (or 3 teaspoons ground turmeric)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 lemon or 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: vegetables for blanching (e.g., broccoli, carrots, green beans)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Sautee garlic and onions. Heat a large skillet or a pan over medium-high heat, and sautee garlic and onions until brown and limp. Add ginger and turmeric, and stir for half a minute.
  2. Add the Chicken. Add the chicken parts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side on medium heat, until the juices come out and the meat is lightly golden.
  3. Season with salt and black pepper. Then add the broth. Lower the heat, and cover. Let the chicken pieces simmer for about 20-25 minutes until they are fully cooked and tender. Add lemon slices for a burst of citrus flavor.
  4. Blanch the Vegetables (optional). While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch your choice of vegetables for 1-2 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
  5. Serve and Enjoy. Plate the chicken, add some of the flavorful sauce over it, sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish.
  6. Serve alongside the blanched vegetables for a complete meal.
