For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken while it's cooking. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or chopped cilantro for a beautiful presentation. Serve with brown rice or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal. If you don't have coconut butter, you can substitute with more almond butter or cashew butter.
