  1. ARE YOU CHICKEN, MATE?

    Place a pan (that has a lid) over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until browned, 4-6 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  2. WHILE THE CHICKEN IS COOKING…

    Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the sliced pepper until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the tomato paste, and the rinsed rice. Fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly).

  3. PERI-PERI RICE

    Add the peri-peri spice, 200ml of water, and seasoning. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir through the peas and ½ the chopped parsley. Cover and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes.

  4. ZESTY BEANS

    When the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside to rest, 5 minutes. Return the pan (wiped down) to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the trimmed green beans and fry until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting constantly). Remove from the pan and toss with lemon zest (to taste), a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning.

  5. GET MUNCHING!

    Dish up a generous helping of the peri-peri rice. Side with the chicken pieces and the lemony green beans. Drizzle the prego sauce over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley, and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Lekker, Chef!
