You may have guessed by now that i love chicken and Healing one tray turmeric chicken is amongst my top ten favourite ways to eat chicken. Firstly because it's a one tray job - everyone loves a one tray recipe. Secondly because it's so delicious - there's no compromise on flavour here and thirdly because turmeric is sooooo good for us - hello nutritional benefits!
It's been a crazy few days here. Like really crazy. I think theres a misconception about blogging and the amount of work involved in it, which is understandable but a little bit frustrating. I didn't quite get it myself until i was in it and to be honest, at the moment i am just skimming the surface even though it feels like I am working ALL the time. There is a lot more i could be doing, however i have to wait until certain things are in place first. That being said, I as with many people who are starting a business put in a lot of hours and the smallest part of that is the making of the food bit! So generally, if i have to drop a post during the week (which i hate to do and have had to do this week), it is generally because i have gotten busy with other stuff.
I'm liking that the weather has cooled down slightly! Woohoooo for some gentle breeze cos no body likes a sweaty betty. Not that i was one. Ahem.. Cool as a cucumber.
Anyway, back to the one tray turmeric chicken. I really think you should try it. I used to always think of turmeric as a spice you should only use a little of so i get that the idea of turmeric chicken might be a bit much but i promise you it works and you will love it! Besides turmeric is warming and full of benefits! You're welcome. 🙂

Wow, I'll have to try that. So easy, and my husband loves turmeric. Just a tip though, it's recommended not to wash chicken as it spreads germs.

Thank you for your lovely comment. Wow i have never heard that re washing of the chicken. Just reading up on it now. Changing to 'clean' as we speak. Thank you

I love working with turmeric. It creates such a beautiful color to your recipes. I like the hint of mustard you added to the list of spices.

Agreed! Blogging is SOOOO much work and most people have NO clue how much it entails! I do get a bit miffed at comments complaining about a recipe after we worked so hard to provide it for FREE!
