This is one of my favorite go-to recipes for chicken. The flavors are wonderfully rich and it's even better eating the leftovers the next day. I usually use a full can of coconut milk and omit the 1/4 cup water from the recipe. I also add about 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. You can make this as spicy or as mild as you want by adjusting the amount of red chile pepper. I opt for mild, so I only add a dash of red pepper. This dish also works well roasted potatoes if you don't have or want to serve rice.
