August 16, 2017 | Michele Lyons | Free Range Poultry, Recipes | Leave a Comment

Turmeric is one of my most favourite spices and I consume it every day. Be careful when marinating these as turmeric will stain your hands and possibly your kitchen bench. Its worth it though as these are delicious.

Ingredients:

1kg free range chicken cutlets
3 tbsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp ground coriander
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder, or to taste
1 tsp sea salt
4 tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
Mixed vegetables for roasting like beetroot, cauliflower and pumpkin

Method:

Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl and then add chicken cutlets. Massage marinade all over cutlets and leave for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Place half a cup of water in the bottom of a casserole dish. Place cutlets into dish, add chat potatoes in between, place lid on casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes at 180c.
Cook other vegetables on top shelf of oven whilst cutlets are cooking.
Remove lid and cook for a further 15 minutes to get nice crispy skin.
Serve cutlets with roasted vegetables and steamed greens.
