Strips and Spicy Rice - Nandos Style

My husband really likes the strips and spicy rice at Nandos. I thought to myself that it couldn't be hard to make...i like a cooking challenge :). So I tried and tested and SURPISE!.....Nandos strips and spicy rice @home in minutes. :).....FOR MUCH MUCH CHEAPER!

Ingredients:
4 chicken fillets cut into nice bite size strips
1 cup of rice
crushed garlic
green pepper
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 heaped tsp bbq spice
1tsp peri peri powder
1tsp chilli powder
Nandos sauce - the medium heat one (The medium one is the trick)

Method:
1. Marinate the chicken with 2 tsp crushed garlic and about 60 ml nandos sauce. Be sure to coat all the chicken in the nandos sauce. You can do this the night before.
2. Boil the rice according to packet instructions but add to the water the tumeric, 1 tsp garlic, the bbq spice, the peri peri powder, the chilli powder and a small piece of green pepper (chopped) and stir it through.
3. When the rice is done strain but do not rinse.
4. In a big pan, I use my wok (its better, less messing), heat some oil either vegetable or olive and add your marinated chicken. Cook until nice and brown.
Then add more nandos sauce so that you have a nice gravy. If you want more sauce just throw in more nandos sauce.
5. Throw in your rice, some salt to taste and stir till well combined.
6. Serve with crumbled feta cheese on top and more nandos sauce if you want :). You can never get enough of nandos sauce.

  2. can somebody please tell me if the bbq sauce will do instead of the bbq powder? n by nandos sauce do you mean the sauce served on table - the mild one? I never saw any sauce labelled MEDIUM here in Bangladesh...

  3. Slms. Once your rice is cooked and flavoured and waiting for the chicken to be added you can stir through some of the bbq sauce. Whatever nandos flavour sauce you have will do....mild, hot, lemon and herb, garlic doesnt matter.
