Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1 tsp Turmeric The star of the show for its vibrant color and health benefits.
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger Offers warmth that complements the turmeric.
  • 1 tsp Paprika Adds subtle smokiness; consider using smoked paprika for extra depth.
  • 1 unit Juice of 1 Lemon A splash of brightness to balance the spices.
  • to taste unit Fresh Cilantro for garnish Adds a refreshing pop and color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic, turmeric, ginger, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through (reaching 165°F internal temperature).

Notes

Use bone-in chicken for juicier results. For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or longer. Serve with rice or fresh salad to complement the dish.
