Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Add them to the pot and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they start to turn golden. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrot, and red bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika to the pot. Stir for about 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock and diced tomatoes, stirring well to combine. Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot.

Step 6

Add the diced sweet potatoes and Nando's Peri Peri sauce. Stir to ensure even distribution.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After 25 minutes, remove the chicken thighs, shred them with two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the kale is tender and vibrant green.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with more Nando's Peri Peri sauce, salt, or pepper as needed.

Step 11

Serve hot with a side of cooked rice or crusty bread, if desired.
