Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp peeled and minced fresh turmeric root
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 c dry white wine
  • 1/2 c heavy cream
  • 1/2 c low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter to the pan. Once melted, add onion, fresh turmeric, pepper, and salt and sauté until onions are softened and spices are fragrant about 5 minutes.
  • Lay chicken out on a plate or sheet pan and season with ground turmeric and salt.
  • Push softened onions to the outside of the pan so there is a large empty space in the center. Add chicken to the center of the pan, seasoned side down, without crowding it, and season the other side. Sear the chicken without moving it until it is browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Add wine to the pan and scrape the flavorful browned bits off the pan leftover from the chicken. Simmer the wine for 1 minute and then add the cream and broth.
  • Drop heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook until the chicken is at least 165 degrees F and tender, about 18-22 minutes.
  • Serve with steamed rice, making sure to include the sauce, and top with chopped cilantro.
