Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chilli flakes ((or to taste))
  • 4 cloves garlic (crushed or grated)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instruction

  • Mix together all of the Peri Peri marinade ingredients (i.e. all the ingredients apart from the actual chicken!) in a large bowl. Place the chicken in the bowl, turning to coat each piece of chicken with marinade. (You can do this in a ziplock bag if you don’t like getting your hands messy!)
  • Cover and marinate the chicken for 2 hours in the fridge or up to 24 hours if you have the time. Alternatively, just continue with the recipe.
  • Heat your griddle/frying pan for 2 minutes over a high heat (see notes for alternative cooking methods). Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 7-9 minutes on each side (depending on thickness – you can check if your chicken is done by cutting into the thickest one – if it’s not raw and pink, you are good to go!).
  • Serve with all your favourite Nando’s style sides!
