Creamy Brazilian Coconut Chicken is a flavorful dish made with tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich coconut milk sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, mixing well to combine all ingredients. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to cook through.
  7. Once the chicken is fully cooked, stir in the lime juice, mixing well.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
  9. Spoon the creamy chicken over a bed of cooked rice for a complete meal.
