  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 2 tablespoons turmeric powder
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Cooking up a storm with Turmeric-Ginger Marinated Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the turmeric powder, grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs or breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight).

3. Preheat the Oven or Grill: If using the oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Chicken:
For Oven: Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
For Grill: Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

5. Rest the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This will help it retain its juices.

6. Slice and Serve: Cut the chicken into strips and arrange them on a platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

By following these instructions, you’ll be able to create a succulent and flavorful Turmeric-Ginger Marinated Chicken that everyone will love.
