Creating Spicy Brazilian Coconut Chicken is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

4. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, and coriander. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.
6. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.
7. Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Bring to a gentle simmer.
8. Add Bell Peppers: Incorporate the sliced bell peppers into the skillet. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.
9. Finish with Lime: Before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish for a burst of acidity.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a pop of color and freshness.
