Browned butter chicken with cumin and coconut rice

This chicken is one of my favorite dishes.
The browned butter adds a richness and depth to the chicken and the cumin adds a warm, earthy flavor.
The coconut rice is a delicious and versatile side dish which complements the spices in this butter chicken perfectly.
