Was looking for an easy chicken recipe to include tumeric and this was it. I didn't have the mushrooms, but it was still delicious. I will make again, but going to add something more to spice it up. Still a quick easy recipe. Read More

I followed it exactly and everyone enjoyed it (including my 8yr old and 12 yr old). Next time, I will increase the amount of turmeric and paprika. Served with steamed broccoli. Yum! Thanks for posting this recipe. Read More

Was a bit bland, but had a mild flavor. Would add more spice next time...and more salt (sea salt). Read More

Loved this recipe and so did my whole family including our 5 yr old and extremely picky husband! Didn't include the mushrooms and didn't have any lemons/lemon juice but it was still so yummy! I did add a couple of splashes of chicken broth when I added the cooked rice just to give it a little more moisture because I forgot we were out of lemons. Read More

pretty good! I heated up some tortillas, mixed together some dill weed and sour cream to take it up a notch! Read More

This is a pretty tasty dish. I was looking for a recipe with tumeric and this did the trick. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs, and I used lemon juice instead of a lemon because I didn't have one on hand. I would make this again. Read More
