There are plenty of good paleo chicken recipes floating around, but this one deserves a special shoutout. You can use your choice of either chicken thighs or legs for this paleo turmeric chicken, which I love because they stay moist and juicy. The turmeric gives the chicken a nice golden yellow color, while also adding so much umami. Save this recipe the next time you need a high-protein lunch or dinner option.
