Creating Spicy Brazilian Coconut Chicken is a straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients before beginning. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the red bell pepper.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Stir in the Curry Paste: Add the red curry paste to the chicken mixture. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the paste.

6. Pour in Coconut Milk: Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients.

7. Add Flavorings: Mix in the lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

8. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and let everything simmer together for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
