Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric grated, or 1 teaspoon ground
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin, black pepper, sea salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if needed.
  4. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes without stirring to develop a golden crust.
  5. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 3-4 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm with your favorite vegetables or grains.

Notes

For maximum anti-inflammatory benefits, use fresh turmeric and ginger rather than dried versions. The chicken can be marinated overnight for even more flavor development. Pair this dish with steamed broccoli, quinoa, or roasted sweet potatoes for a complete anti-inflammatory meal.
