When chicken goes on sale, we buy a bunch. We marinate it in this saffron, onion, turmeric and lemon mix, then grill them within the next day or two. The onion and lemon really tenderize the meat and supply a great flavour. I love the yellow colouring from the saffron and turmeric, both which are full of heart-healthy vitamins and minerals. I like to lay them on a few sheets of lavash bread because they catch the juice and make for a delicious, soft wrap. This is great recipe all year round, but I especially love it for summertime!
Prep Time: 10 minutes (plus marinating time)
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp ground saffron
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 3 Tbsp water
- juice and zest of one lemon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- lavash bread
Steps:
- To make the marinade, dissolve the saffron and turmeric in 3 tablespoons of water. Mix together with all the other ingredients (except the chicken) in a large container.
- Puncture the chicken breasts several times with a knife.
- Place chicken in the marinade. Spoon marinade all over. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours, turning once at the halfway point.
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Let chicken sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Place chicken on a baking sheet and top with the marinated onions. Cook in oven for 30-45 minutes, until internal temperature is 160 F.
- Line a serving platter or individual plates with some lavash bread.
- Place chicken breasts on top, then pour the juice from the baking pan on top. Serve immediately.
