    One Pot Peri Peri Chicken and Rice- Another one of my favourite dishes. It is absolutely delicious and you only need one pot to make it!

    So this recipe works in stages because chicken breast would become dry and tough if you put it in the oven at the same time as the rice. How it works is that you sear the breast very briefly (you can skip this stage), then cook the rice and then put the chicken breast into the rice after it is almost cooked. 

    Peri Peri chicken is one of our favourite meals. I love to make this one here but equally I love to douse chicken in the peri peri marinades or sauces and cook it that way. The sauces themselves are not sugar laden as many sauces are so its a no brainer for me. I also love to make these Peri Peri burgers and I enjoy doing some meal prep with Peri Peri sauce too. 

    As I mentioned in another post, the one pot chicken and rice concept is hardly a new one when it comes to Indians. We love squashing everything into one pot- meat, rice, potatoes, other veg…and I am not just talking about biryanis here. Anyone from a south asian background knows all about akhnis and pulaos too. AKA the best food ever for both the cook and the eater. 

    EVERYONE loves this dish. The rice is as flavourful as the chicken which is rare. Usually in one pot meals, it all works together beautifully but the rice is not as flavoursome as the meat (except in the case of the biryani). In this case, the rice is so beautifully yummy that you will have to hold yourself back from eating it all in one go. Do give it a try and if you do, #tiffinandtea for a chance to be featured in our stories!
