Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Stir in the turmeric and cook for another minute to release its aroma.
  4. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly browned.
  5. Add the carrots and celery, followed by the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. If using, stir in the coconut milk and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  9. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Notes
