Description
Homemade chicken jerky infused with turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice chicken breast thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, turmeric, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Add chicken slices to the marinade and toss to coat.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Arrange chicken slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.

Notes
- For a spicier jerky, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Store jerky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
