If you need a healthy, filling meal that comes together quickly, this 20 minute turmeric chicken bowl is the perfect answer.

This recipe is honestly such a breeze and is ready so fast. Plus it is flavorful and so colorful! The turmeric makes the chicken a beautiful bright yellow. Then, the cilantro, tomatoes, and pickled red onions give us the rest of our color!

Pickled red onions are a staple in my fridge. They are so easy to make and are the perfect addition to so many things — toast, eggs, bowls, sandwiches, etc. You can find my recipe for pickled red onions here.
