Creating Creamy Peri Peri Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently.
5. Add Peri Peri Sauce: Pour the peri peri sauce into the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic.
6. Stir in Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the skillet, mixing well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
