Turmeric Chicken for Adas Polo | Persian Recipe

Did you know turmeric is so good for you? Aside from being an antioxidant, it’s full of other other benefits for your body and brain. I tend to overdo my turmeric consumption, and this is one chicken recipe that’s full of it! This chicken dish perfectly accompanies Adas Polo, Zeresh Polo and Baghia Polo.

Ingredient:
Onion (sliced)
Chicken (pieces with skin on)
salt (to taste)
oil (grapeseed oil and olive oil)
turmeric (1-2 Tablespoons)
optional: saffron (pinch)

Directions:
Saute 1-2 onions in oil until translucent or even a bit more. Place chicken in the pan with onions, skin side down. Add oil as needed. Season with salt and generous amounts of turmeric. Brown chicken on both sides. Sprinkle with ground saffron. Add about 1/2-1 cup of water after about 5-10 minutes.

Transfer browned chicken to baking tray. Be sure to get all the pan drippings onto the chicken. Add 1/2 cup of water for a saucier sauce. Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes uncovered if skin is on or covered if skin is off. Serve with Adas Polo.

Turmeric chicken and Cucumber Salad are perfect with Adas Polo.
