NOTES
1. Can I prepare the marinade in advance? Yes. You can marinate the chicken up to 48 hours ahead and keep it in the refrigerator.
2. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast? Absolutely. Thighs stay very tender and add extra flavor.
3. Is this dish very spicy? No, it is mild. The yogurt and coconut milk balance the heat. Add more chili if you want it hotter.
