Peri Peri Chicken

Peri Peri Chicken

Peri Peri Chicken is what I fancied today, so that is what I had. I AM the Peri Peri Bird!!

1-I chopped onions, red chilli, crushed garlic, grated lime zest, squeeze of lime juice, ripped up fresh coriander & fresh flat leaf parsley. Add to chicken. I used breast this time.
2-Let it do its thang...in other words marinade for a while. Like this...
3-I left a few chilli seeds in there for a little extra 'kick'. It works nicely with the zesty lime.
Then I flung in the good old faithful +Nandos Peri Peri marinade.  
4- I then added a few extra ingredients to make it to my taste, eg, Worcester sauce, sugar, & something kinda 'secret'..yep, so secret in fact that even I am not sure what it will be!
It should look like this...
5-Put on rice. I put some coconut in the rice. Go & do something else & let the fresh flavours & smells soak into the chicken for a bit. Anything from 20minutes to two days. 
6-Quick seal chicken in hot pan. Turn heat down, add splash of water & let it simmer & the sauce to reduce down a bit.
7-Rice on plate, Bung the chicken on the top, add fresh sprig of coriander, cos it looks nice, and then a slice n squeeze of lime....Don't forget to add  whole heap of love....
.......and there you go...this is how mine looks. It tasted pretty good too. Satisfied...
Yum! :)
