Ingredients

Servings

For the Chicken

  • 1 lb / 500g chicken thigh skinless, boneless
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic crushed, cloves
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

For the savory rice

  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 4 garlic crushed, cloves
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth or water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups corn frozen

For the Creamy Peri Peri Sauce

  • ½ cup peri-peri sauce
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • lemon juice to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken to a large bowl then pour over the marinade, cover and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes but ideally overnight in the fridge.
  2. To make the rice, sauté the onions and peppers in a splash of oil in a medium pot/Dutch oven until softened. Add the garlic and turmeric and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the rice then pour in the liquid. Season with salt then allow to simmer for 10 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. Add the frozen corn then turn the heat all the way down and cover with a lid. Allow to steam for 10 minutes then turn off the heat and allow to stand while you cook the chicken.
  5. For the sauce, add the peri-peri sauce, cream, lemon juice and salt to a small saucepan then set over medium-high heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Heat a grill pan over high heat (or cook the chicken on an outdoor grill) for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve the chicken over the rice then pour over the sauce.
