Lemon and Turmeric Chicken


This dish was easy to make and my Children really enjoyed it but I found that it lacked something.  I think I’d add some garlic, herbs and some more lemon if I were to make it again.   Don’t be put off by the color – it’s supposed to go that color due to the turmeric. Enjoy!
