Chicken Cataplana (Nando's Style)

Nando's is one of my favorite restaurant. As many, even I am a big fan of their sauces. One of my favorite dishes from Nando's is their Chicken Cataplana. Since this is a tough time for all of us and cant go out and have this dish at their restaurant, I decided to try this at home. Well, to my surprise, this turned out well. Here is my style of Chicken Cataplana.
Ingredients:
