Best Recipe Creamy Peri Peri Chicken

Ingredients

Peri Peri Marinade:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (or more if you like it spicier)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Also:

• 4 chicken breasts (I used skinless and boneless)
• Salt and pepper to taste (see notes)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups bell peppers, chopped (I used red, yellow and green)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Fresh parsley chopped to garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the peri-peri marinade: place all the ingredients in the bowl or small jar and mix until well combined.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Note: I didn't add any extra salt or pepper because the marinade has plenty of flavors.
3. Place the chicken in a large container or sealable plastic bag. Add the peri-peri marinade and move the chicken around until well coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes at least, or overnight. Reserve marinade.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and oil. Place chicken in the skillet and cook thoroughly until it reaches 165°F and nice golden color. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet sauté the peppers for 2 – 3 minutes over medium-high heat. Add reserved marinade and bring to boil; cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add heavy cream. Mix until well combined. Return chicken and any juices to skillet; bring to boil. Coat the chicken with the sauce. Simmer uncovered until the chicken is heated, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Serve.
