What you'll need
Here are the ingredients for this simple turmeric chicken recipe. Don't change a thing; they work perfectly together.
- 1/2 head Cauliflower (medium, cut into florets)
- 12 ozs Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless)
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1/3 cup Whipping Cream
- 2 tbsps Parsley (chopped)
How to make it
Follow these five easy steps, and you'll have dinner on the table in no time
- Steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water for about five minutes until it turns fork-tender.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper while heating the oil over medium heat in a pan. Cook the chicken for 10 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through.
- Add the cauliflower and turmeric to the pan and allow it to cook for five more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the cream and bring it to a simmer. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for two to three minutes. Adjust the seasoning of salt and pepper if needed.
- Sprinkle with parsley, divide the dish evenly onto plates, and serve it warm.
Notes:
- Leftovers: Refrigerate turmeric chicken thighs in an airtight container for up to three days.
- Serving size: One serving is about two small chicken thighs and half a cup of cauliflower.
- More flavor: Add bell pepper and cumin for extra flavor.
- Dairy-free: Substitute the cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
