I'm allergic to coconut. Is there a substitute I can use?

I made this recipe and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken that I needed to use up, and this dish was the perfect way to do it.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut milk, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in this dish. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the coconut milk sauce was creamy and delicious. I also loved the pop of flavor from the bell peppers and onions.
