Turmeric Maple Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning chicken breasts and searing them in a skillet to develop a golden crust and lock in juices. Meanwhile, a sauce mixing maple syrup, tamari soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground turmeric is prepared. Once seared, the chicken is coated with the maple turmeric sauce and transferred to the oven to finish cooking through gentle baking.
The sweet maple balances the salty tamari and warm, slightly bitter turmeric, creating a harmonious glaze that coats the tender chicken. The avocado oil used for searing adds a mild flavor and helps achieve a crisp exterior before baking. The result is juicy chicken with a flavorful, slightly sticky finish suitable for serving alongside rice, vegetables, or salad.
This straightforward recipe focuses on simple ingredients combined thoughtfully to infuse the chicken with mild spice and natural sweetness while maintaining a moist texture.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast about 3 breasts, skinless, boneless
