Recipe Summary Chicken Thighs With Turmeric And Sea Salt

This is a delicious main dish with minimal prep time. This recipe works well with fish too. Serve with rice, pasta, or a hearty salad.

Ingredients | Turmeric Chicken And Quinoa

1 (1 inch) piece turmeric root, peeled and diced

½ teaspoon sea salt

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

Grind turmeric and sea salt into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle. Rub paste evenly over chicken thighs. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for flavors to develop, about 1 hour.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in hot oil and cook until brown underneath, about 8 minutes. Flip and cook second side until browned, about 8 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

You might have to vary the amount of salt depending on the size of the chicken parts. I use chicken thighs because I prefer fattier meat but chicken breasts would taste just as lovely I believe.

If you are using a Happycall(R) pan just grease both sides of the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side.
