Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim 1.5 lbs broccoli crowns into 1.5-inch florets and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Finely grate 1 tbsp fresh turmeric and mince 4 garlic cloves. Rub 1.8 lbs chicken thighs with turmeric-garlic mixture, ensuring even coating.
  3. Step 3: Arrange chicken thighs on the broccoli baking sheet, pushing florets around to surround the chicken. Roast for 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and broccoli is golden at edges.
