Peri Peri Pasta

Of all the people I know, I haven't found a single person who is not a fan of Nando's Peri Peri Grilled Chicken and Peri Bites. Not that I know millions of people but still Nando's Peri Peri goodies are a general favorite.

Inspired by very famous Nando's Peri Bites, I decided to make a Peri Peri Pasta. Using exactly the same ingredients plus pasta. Not only did my dish come out to be "perliciously delicious" but was also a satisfying meal!

Is periliciously delicious a word?

Never mind! We have it now ;)

This recipe has all the goodness of real Nando's Peri Bites (fiery chilies, tender strips of grilled chicken and distinct Nando's flavored sauce) and the best part is that I managed to make it in less than 30 minutes. Which makes it a perfect recipe for week day meals!
