Instructions
Creating Creamy Brazilian Coconut Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 15 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
