Feed your fire<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

~ Nando’s tagline ~<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oh how I love the very special flavour of Nando’s Peri-peri chicken<\/a>! South Africans have loved Nando’s since the late 1980s and the brand has become a global favourite. Not only do we eat the delicious flame-grilled Peri-peri chicken, but we also stock up on their sauces and grocery items<\/a>. So it won’t surprise you that I almost always have a bottle of Nando’s Peri-peri sauce in my kitchen. Which is how I came to make this Creamy Peri-peri Chicken recipe. I was browsing Pinterest for something interesting to do with chicken when I found a copycat Nando’s recipe. I wasn’t interested in recreating their recipe though. The recipe on Pinterest just gave me the idea to use Nando’s Peri-peri sauce to make my chicken interesting.<\/p>\n

No more boring Chicken and Rice<\/h4>\n

As I mentioned in my Crumbed Hake Bake post<\/a>, my husband and I only eat red meat on weekends and my daughters stick to chicken or vegetarian food. My daughters always joke that we eat chicken and rice at least once a week. To be honest, the other nights are usually fish and rice, chicken and pasta or a vegetarian meal. So we really need some recipes to make chicken interesting. At least with this Creamy Peri-peri Chicken recipe, there is no more boring<\/em> chicken and rice and you can serve it with whatever starch you like! It also helps with keeping the half-used condiment bottles in our fridge under control!<\/p>\n

Mozambican Portuguese flavours rule!<\/h4>\n

I have a thing for Prego sauce as many South Africans do. The combination of peri-peri, garlic, lemon and tomato is just the best. So it wasn’t hard to take a Nando’s Peri-peri sauce, add some more of those Mozambican Portuguese flavours and come up with a delicious, easy weeknight supper that had everyone asking for seconds! Of course it is up to you which Nando’s sauce you use. I have tried mild and hot and had to settle on mild as everyone in my family didn’t love the fire as much as I do. You do you though and if you choose to feed the fire, it’s all fine by me!<\/p>\n
