Turmeric Roasted Chicken And Sweet Potatoes

Turmeric Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Baked sweet potatoes are even better when paired with chicken and seasoned with golden turmeric, ginger and lemon juice. Serve with a fall salad of mixed greens, sliced apples and blue cheese. This dish is a variation of this Turmeric Chicken with Roasted Beets.

There’s a chill in the air, perfect for making this baked chicken dish to warm up your home. It’s also easily adapted for a Whole30 diet. Easy to make, with readily available ingredients and very tasty. I make this often and left-overs are great as well. We probably make chicken 3 nights a week, if not more, you can see all my other chicken recipes here.

What does turmeric taste like?

Turmeric is mildly aromatic with scents of ginger. It’s often use in place of saffron to provide color and flavor.

Roasted Turmeric Chicken Variations and Tips

I remove the skin to keep the calories lower, but I’ve also made it with the skin and it’s quite delicious both ways/ You can use your favorite chicken pieces, I did a combination of drumsticks and thighs, but chicken breast on the bone is also great. Swap the sweet potatoes out for butternut squash or diced potatoes. Best to wear gloves when working with turmeric. It stains your hands like nothing else.
