**Gluten-Free Peri Peri Chicken Recipe With Spicy Rice – Nando’s Style**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup gluten-free peri peri sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in the gluten-free peri peri sauce. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the sauce over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
3. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers along with the chopped onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a golden brown color.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the spicy rice. In a separate pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and toast it for a couple of minutes until it starts to turn golden.
6. Pour in the chicken broth, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
8. Serve the sliced peri peri chicken over a bed of the spicy rice. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
