Slow cooker Peri Peri Chicken Stew

Lick you lips! You’re going to just love this slow cooker peri peri chicken stew. A tasty, spicy, slowly cooked chicken casserole that is perfect for coming home to on a cold day. It’s one of the kids favourite slow cooker chicken recipes.

Our peri peri chicken casserole is super simple to make, so it’s perfect for busy mums who have zero time! Literally 5-10 minutes preparation in the morning then switch on the slow cooker and that’s it – done!

Peri Peri Chicken Stew Ingredients

slow cooker peri peri chicken stew ingredients on a wooden chopping board - diced chicken breast, small bowl of carrots, a red onion, small blue and white bowl filled with olive oil, small glass bowl filled with peri peri seasoning, tin of polpa chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbs olive oil – you can use rapeseed oil if you prefer.
  • 1 red onion – choose a medium sized onion, then peel and chop into small pieces.
  • 250g carrots – peeled and sliced (about 2 medium carrots or 4 small ones)
  • 500g diced chicken breast – this is usually around 4 small chicken breasts or 2-3 larger chicken breasts. You can use chicken mini fillets if you prefer – they’re often cheaper to buy and as it’s just being diced up it really won’t matter.
  • 1 tin tomatoes – I use Polpa tomatoes as they give a smoother sauce, it’s just a nicer texture than regular chopped tomatoes.
  • 3 tsp peri peri seasoning – feel free to use more or less to suit your own taste. Peri Peri seasoning is a great little jar of spices, it’s good to have this in a home as you can add it to so many things for an instant blast of flavour. Try it on steak, grilled cheese or sprinkled into spicy pasta dishes.
  • Pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper

How to make peri peri chicken in the slow cooker

We love this spicy peri peri chicken casserole it’s just so easy to make! It’s one I often cook on school and work days when I’m super short on time.

I use a Crockpot sauté style slow cooker with removable pan so I start the chicken casserole off in that on the hob then transfer to the slow cooker once it’s boiling.

  • Peel the carrots and slice.
  • Peel the red onion and dice.

  • Pour the olive oil into the slow cooker pan and gently wipe it around to grease the sides where you’ll be cooking.
  • Tip in the chopped red onion.

  • Tip in the tin of chopped tomatoes – I use the Polpa tomatoes – they’re more finely chopped and the tomato juice is thicker so it gives a cooks into a nicer sauce. If you can’t find them, ordinary chopped tomatoes are fine.

How to make slow cooker peri peri chicken stew your way

  • Add more peri peri seasoning if you like things hotter. Or even try stirring a dash of the Nando’s hot sauce through just before serving.
  • Add in some more veggies – chunkily sliced red pepper works well. 
  • Stir through a tin of beans (you can use black beans or even just a can of baked beans) if you need to bulk up your stew to feed more people.

  • stainless steel mixing bowl filled with homemade Nando's style peas - mashed peas and whole peas mixed together with butter, flat leaf parsley, red chillies, salt and black pepper
  • Mashed sweet potato side dish, easy vegetable side dishes, easy family food from daisies and pie
  • white enamel roasting tin filled with homemade cheesy piri piri sweet potato wedges.
  • We love this with quick to cook frozen potato wedges and some lovely homemade Nando style peas. The peas really don’t take long and you can make them whilst the potato wedges cook.
  • It’s also lovely spooned over some cheesy mashed potatoes with a side of green beans. If it’s a cold rainy day then cheesy mashed potatoes are always a good thing and this spicy stew is oh so perfect with mash.
