Why you’ll love this Chicken Peri Peri recipe
⭐️ Ready in 30 minutes ⭐️ Rich in flavour and spice ⭐️ Budget-friendly, simple ingredients It is a tangy, spicy seasoning made up of different herbs and spices in different regions, and has links to both Portugal and South Africa, originating from the peri peri (African Bird’s Eye Chilli), although it’s not definitive as to who created the flavour. The popularity of the flavour exploded when Nando’s chain of restaurants became popular around the world, where marinated chicken is typically flame-grilled in restaurants. The blend can be used for a variety of dishes, including this pasta!
Substitutions
Sweetcorn – If you don’t want to add this, just leave out or swap for another vegetable of your choice
You may need to add a splash of water when you reheat it if it’s a little dry. In the freezer I’m not a big fan of freezing pasta as it can go quite mushy when defrosted and reheated. All that said, there’s nothing wrong with freezing for a lunch if you have leftovers, it’s just not quite as good as fresh or reheated from the fridge. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
