Serving suggestion:
Directions
Let’s Prep
-
In a bowl add tomato paste, water, olive oil and 4 tsp of Spice Pantry Peri Peri Spice Blend, mix until all ingredients are combined.
-
Add your chicken to the marinade or brush on, making sure they are all fully covered.
Let’s cook
Air fryer
-
Set temperature to 180°c
-
Place your chicken in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 180°c, then turn and cook for a further 8-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. If you have a meat thermometer, then the internal temperature should be 165°f/ 74°c.
Oven bake
-
Preheat oven to 400°f/ 200°c/ 180°c fan/ gas mark 6
-
Spray the seasoned chicken with a little oil as the oven does tend to dry it out a bit. Cook on rack or a baking tray, cover the chicken in foil and cook for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and let it cook for a further 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Stove top
-
Cook on a medium/low heat with a splash of oil for 8 minutes, turn and cook the other side for 6-8 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
-
We always put a lid over the pan as it steams and fries at the same time making the chicken moist and tender.
Barbecue
-
Cook whatever way suits, make sure chicken is fully cooked.
Enjoy!
-
Serve in a bun, we like using toasted ciabatta rolls but brioche, burger buns or even a crusty white roll will work just fine with fries or wedges. Also, very good sliced up in sandwiches with a dollop of mayonnaise.
Filling suggestions
-
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, relish, tomato sauce or mayo (my favourite!). Get creative!
-
Choose your bun. I like ciabatta rolls toasted on the inside. Add a knob of butter to a frying pan, melt and place the cut rolls on the butter and toast for 30 seconds. Lovely! But hamburger rolls, baguette, brioche rolls are all good.
-
Add them all together just how you like it.
-
Chips? Go on. You know it makes sense to have a few on the side. Take a look at our chip seasoning recipe for perfect crispy healthy chips.
Recipe Note
This recipe is lovely, tomato paste comes through making them super moist and not dry at all.A little bit of a kick but not too much.
Cook an extra couple of breasts, slice them and add to your favourite bread the next day with butter and mayonnaise. I always do that and it's so much better and less expensive than shop bought chicken slices.
As with most of our recipes, they can be used by vegetarians just by swapping out the meat for a meat-free option but be careful as the timings may differ.
