Instructions

1
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Sprinkle half the peri peri seasoning onto the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. 
  • Once the oil is hot, lay the chicken thighs flat in the pan. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
  • Fry until browned on each side and cooked through, 13-15 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
2
  • Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a separate large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the pepper to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 5-6 mins.
  • Add the remaining peri peri seasoning, chickpeas, passata, red wine stock paste, water for the sauce and sugar (see pantry for both). 
  • Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.
3
  • Next, halve the lemon. in a small bowl, combine half the lemon juice with the mayonnaise (see pantry). Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Halve the ciabatta. Toast the ciabatta halves in your toaster until golden.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle with the honey (see pantry). 
  • Stir the butter (see pantry) into the chickpeas and sauce. Taste and season if needed.
4
  • Share the chickpeas and sauce between bowls. Top with the chicken thighs. 
  • Add dollops of the lemon mayonnaise alongside the chicken and scatter over the rocket leaves.
  • Serve with the toasted ciabatta and lemon wedges on the side.
  • Enjoy!
