2 pieces Onions

Tips
Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less hot water according to your preference.
Directions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, ginger garlic green chilli paste, peri peri seasoning, vinegar, and salt.
Add the chicken breast, ensuring it is well-coated with the marinade.
Let it marinate while you prepare the sauce or refrigerate for a few hours.
Char the red bell pepper, onions, tomatoes, and green chillies over direct flame until the skin is blackened.
Set aside the charred vegetables, cover the tomatoes and red bell pepper to steam for easier peeling.
Heat a pan over high flame and add olive oil.
Once hot, place the marinated chicken in the pan and cook until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides.
Set the chicken aside to rest before slicing.
Peel the charred skin from the red bell pepper and tomatoes.
Roughly chop all the charred vegetables and blend them into a smooth puree.
Heat a deep pan, add olive oil, and sauté the ginger garlic green chilli paste briefly.
Add the peri peri seasoning and Kashmiri red chilli powder, followed by the vegetable puree.
Cook until the oil separates, then adjust the consistency with hot water.
Add lemon zest, juice, sugar, and fresh cream. Stir in the cooked chicken and garnish with fresh coriander.
