Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp grated turmeric, 1/2 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp sea salt.
  2. Step 2: Place chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with 1/2 lemon zest; roast for 18-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and edges are golden.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 cups broccoli florets with 1/2 tsp olive oil, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp lemon zest; roast on a separate sheet for 15 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
