Introduction

This peri peri chicken rice bowl is a fast favourite — juicy chicken thighs spiced to perfection, fluffy rice, crisp salad and a generous drizzle of Blazing’s Garlic & Herb Peri Peri Sauce. It’s spicy, fresh, and endlessly customisable — think Nando’s, but better.

Ingredients

2 boneless chicken thighs
3 tbsp Blazing Garlic & Herb Peri Peri Sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
150g basmati rice
½ red onion, thinly sliced
Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
Small handful of mixed leaves or rocket
Lemon wedge (to serve)

Method

Marinate the Chicken:
Mix 2 tbsp of the Garlic & Herb Peri Peri Sauce with 1 tsp smoked paprika. Coat the chicken thighs and let sit for at least 10 minutes (or overnight in the fridge).
Cook the Rice:
Boil 150g basmati rice, drain, and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
Grill the Chicken:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until slightly charred and cooked through.
Assemble the Bowl:
In each bowl, layer rice, salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, and onion. Slice the chicken and place on top.
Drizzle & Serve:
Finish with a drizzle of the remaining 1 tbsp Garlic & Herb Peri Peri Sauce and a wedge of lemon.
