Ingredients
Scale
For the Turmeric Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Butter Bean Hummus
- 1 can (15 oz) butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Roasted Peppers
- 2 large bell peppers (red or yellow), sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a bowl, combine turmeric, cumin, paprika, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the turmeric marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Roast the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Prepare the Butter Bean Hummus: In a food processor, combine butter beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Roast the Peppers: Toss the sliced bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the chicken for about 20 minutes or until tender and slightly charred.
- Assemble and Serve: Serve the roasted turmeric chicken with a generous dollop of butter bean hummus and a side of roasted peppers. Enjoy warm for a delicious and nutritious meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- For added heat, sprinkle chili flakes in the chicken marinade.
- Butter bean hummus can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Roast the peppers until slightly charred for enhanced smoky flavor.
- Serve with warm pita bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
