skinnymixer’s Peri Peri Chicken Thermomix

Sharing is caring!

The admin girls have been begging me to do a Peri Peri Chicken Thermomix recipe for years now, and the suggestion finally made itself to the top of my list!

I am so glad it did… I truly believe this is one of the best tasting recipes I have ever developed. It is perfect for those who are wanting to lose a little holiday season weight: its low carb, gluten free, preservative free, dairy free, sugar free – and with a hint of chilli it’ll get your metabolism working!

We served it with some fresh lemon and a summer salad but it would also be amazing paired with my chipotle chips and aioli or even my Pita Bread Wraps.

I hope everyone takes the time to marinate it for at least 8 hours, the piri piri flavour develops significantly !

This recipe could easily be made in a blender or food processor if you don’t own a Thermomix.

Notes

Thank you to Nae Jackson for this fantastic Peri Peri making video.

Perinaise Tip - Leave 1 Tbsp of marinade in the Thermomix mixer bowl and go on to make my Mayonaise recipe without washing the bowl. Let the Perinaise chill in the fridge while your chicken marinates.

Super Skinny Adaptation: Remove the oil, replacing with 15 g or 0.5 oz water. Use chicken breast.

FODMAP Friendly: Take out garlic and swap the plain oil with garlic-infused olive oil and use the green part of spring onions instead of 1 large onion.
