Turmeric Chicken

Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine turmeric, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the seasoning all over the chicken thighs.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until fully cooked.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to low, drizzle lemon juice and honey over the chicken, and let it cook for 1 more minute, coating the chicken in the glaze.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

If time allows you can marinate the chicken thighs into the spice rub for up to an hour, which will intensify the flavors
