Bright lemon, fragrant rosemary, thyme, and parsley come together with garlic, ginger, and turmeric to create a marinade that makes plain chicken anything but boring. Every ingredient here is clean and whole-food, which is exactly what makes this recipe such a reliable go-to when you're navigating the strict eliminations of the autoimmune protocol. No nightshades, no grains, no seed-based spices — just herbs, citrus, and good olive oil doing all the heavy lifting. The trick of reserving a couple tablespoons of marinade before it ever touches raw chicken means you get a fresh, vibrant drizzle at the end that really wakes up the finished dish. After at least two hours in the fridge, the chicken soaks up all that herby brightness and cooks up juicy whether you grill, roast, or sear it. It serves four, so it's practical for a weeknight dinner but impressive enough to put in front of guests without any explanation required.
