Brazilian Chicken with Coconut Milk

I made this with 4 chicken thighs yesterday and replaced the jalepeno peppers with red chilli peppers and it was really good. I also used canned chopped tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. Next time, I'll use less coconut milk (half a can) because there was too much sauce. I also put the chicken back in the sauce at the end and let it simmer for a while and garnished with both parsley and fresh coriander. Next time, I would leave the chicken to marinate overnight because although the sauce was really tasty, the chicken was a little flavourless. Otherwise, delicious!
