Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Opinions on flavour are mixed — some find it tasty with a pleasant kick, while others feel the peri peri seasoning lacks depth and heat.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, making it a reliable choice for a busy weeknight.
- Suggestions: Add chilli flakes, a fresh chilli, or extra peri peri seasoning if you prefer more heat; some found that serving the chicken and sauce over the rice, rather than stirring everything together, gave better results. Adding a dollop of Greek yoghurt or a squeeze of lime can also help lift the flavours.
- Next-day meals: Several reviewers noted the rice quantity felt generous relative to the sauce and chicken, so consider using slightly less rice to keep the balance of flavours.
- Portions: Most found the dish filling and well-sized for two, though those with larger appetites may want to scale up the chicken and sauce accordingly.
