Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
4. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the chicken to glaze it.
6. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
