## Instructions

1. Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs.

3. Mix until evenly coated and let marinate if time allows.
4. Line a sheet pan and spread the marinated chicken in a single layer.
5. Brush with peri peri sauce and lightly spray with avocado oil.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 200C / 400F for 22-25 minutes until golden and juicy.
7. While chicken cooks, boil the pasta, drain, and set aside.
8. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep all the pan juices.
9. Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan, toss in the juices, and spread flat.
10. Roast at 180C / 370F for 15 minutes until soft and lightly charred.
11. While the pan is hot, add extra seasoning, tomato paste, cream cheese, evaporated milk, and peri peri sauce.
