🌴 A creamy, tropical delight! Tender chicken simmers in rich coconut milk with aromatic spices, delivering a comforting, flavorful meal perfect for any night of the week. ✨
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 🍗
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped 🧅
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 red bell pepper, sliced 🌶️
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) 🌶️
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk 🥥
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 🌿
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. 🍗
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Sauté onion and garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. 🥘
