4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 ½ onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped roasted garlic
½ (14 ounce) can coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a large skillet, fry chicken breast in vegetable oil until the chicken just begins to brown.
