Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, searing for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- With the chicken nicely browned, add minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and chopped fresh chili to the skillet. Sauté these aromatics for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in one can of coconut milk along with lime juice into the skillet. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and mix well.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the dish simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning. You may want to add extra lime juice or salt for balance.
- Once satisfied with the seasoning, serve your Spicy Brazilian Coconut Chicken over rice or quinoa, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
