One Pot Nando’s Chicken and Rice
Nando’s is my favourite takeaway so love using their sauces and marinades to create delicious meals at home!
Depending on your spice level you can use the right one for you. They have a few different ones from very mild to extra hot.

Loved this recipe. Saw it on tiktok and looked amazing so had to try. Honestly was skeptical as so many recipes are a miss however this did not disappoint. Have already made it twice this month and will definitely be making it again. Only thing I noticed was tiktok used garlic, written recipe doesn’t list it. I added it when making the recipe as who doesn’t love garlic.
My whole family loves this dish! I cook it once a week now at their request, the chicken is great for lunch the next day also!
Absolutely divine dish! Thank you for sharing your fabulous Sundays and tasty meals
So easy to make and delicious! Ate it for 3 days straight and didn’t get tired of it. Going into my monthly rotation for sure! Thanks.
Loved this recipe. It was so easy to whip up and tasted great. I’ll be cooking this on the regular
No idea what went wrong but a lot of my rice didn’t cook and stayed hard. I had it in the oven for close to an hour and a half too as after the first 45 mins at 180 the juices were still runny like water. I have no clue as to why it didn’t work out for us!
