  Made this yesterday and loved it. Boyfriend's a fussy eater but he liked it too. I think I'll put something spicier in the rice to give it more of a kick but other than that lovely.

  you can get the piri piri marinade from most supermarkets. there is a nandos version, which you can get in differing spiciness!

  Absoultely lovely, the rice is full of flavour and the chicken really soakes up the marinade even if you don't have time to leave it for a few hours, already made it twice since finding the recipe. Easy to make too

  Did the piri piri chicken but served with yellow pepper rice. Quick and easy mid-week meal.

  I cooked this for friends, it was so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I would recommend seasoning the rice to taste though. Also a sprinkle of chilli flakes on top gives it that extra kick.

  Delicious as-is but only rated four stars as I felt the "spicy rice" didn't really hit the mark. I'd suggest adding a little fresh chilli (e.g. half a scotch bonnet or similar) to the final puree and paprika stage which will work well with the bell peppers but give a big chilli kick.
