Ruckzuck Peri-Peri Chicken Strips with Quick Tomato Sambal
Hot-pan peri-peri chicken strips with a fast chopped tomato-onion sambal on the side.
Why smarter
18 minutes is realistic: 3–4 minutes to slice chicken and heat the pan, 7–8 minutes to sear and glaze the chicken, 5–6 minutes to chop and season the tomato-onion sambal in parallel, 1–2 minutes to plate.
Chef tip
For better browning, keep the pan very hot and avoid overcrowding—cook the chicken in two batches if your pan is small. Shortcut: Use store-bought peri-peri sauce (ready-made).
