This soothing one-pot meal is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds and ideal for the Elimination Diet or any phase of healing. Turmeric and ginger work synergistically to calm inflammation, support digestion, and strengthen the gut lining. Curcuminoids in turmeric help restore intestinal barrier integrity (“leaky gut”) and activate antioxidant enzymes that protect intestinal and liver cells. Chicken and rice provide gentle, easily digestible nourishment for steady energy, while the warming spices enhance circulation and bile flow. Serve with a simple slaw or leafy green salad for a balanced, deeply nourishing meal.
