Description

A vibrant and flavourful fusion dish combining the heat of Portuguese-inspired peri peri sauce with tender chicken and perfectly cooked pasta. The Ninja Speedi's dual-cooking functionality allows the pasta to cook simultaneously with the chicken, creating an efficient one-pot meal.

The steam generated from the pasta cooking below helps keep the chicken moist while the air crisp function creates a deliciously crispy exterior on the chicken pieces, delivering contrasting textures in every bite.
