PORTUGUESE STYLE CHICKEN WITH SPICED RICE AND YOGHURT MINT SAUCE
Customer Reviews
Warm, vibrant, and full of soulful flavour — this Portuguese-inspired chicken and rice dish brings together fragrant spices, tender chicken, and cooling yoghurt in a hearty, balanced meal that feels like a hug on a plate.
At the heart of the dish is succulent chicken thigh, marinated in a bold blend of cumin, mustard powder, garlic, and a touch of sambal oelek for gentle heat and smoky depth. Pan-seared until golden and juicy, the chicken is served over a bed of aromatic basmati rice, infused with sautéed onion and soft strips of red capsicum, which bring sweetness and texture to every forkful.
To balance the warmth of the spices, a spoonful of creamy yoghurt-mint sauce adds a cool, herby freshness. Made with natural yoghurt, fresh mint, and garlic, it cuts through the richness of the dish and adds an uplifting contrast. A final squeeze of zesty lime juice ties it all together, enhancing the spice and adding a refreshing finish.
This dish is colourful, layered, and full of texture — from juicy chicken to soft peppers, fluffy rice, and that cooling drizzle — making it the perfect weeknight dinner or meal prep favourite that satisfies without being heavy.
