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

1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Incorporate the Peppers: Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

5. Pour in Coconut Milk: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the coconut milk. Stir to combine everything and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly.

6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or spices as needed for your preferred flavor profile.

7. Serve Hot: Once cooked thoroughly, serve the Spicy Brazilian Coconut Chicken immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
