Method
- Mix all ingredients apart from your coconut milk and chicken breasts in a big bowl.

- Seal the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least an hour to marinade.
- Remove from the fridge and heat a frying pan on medium-high.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, and scrape all the marinade off. Put the chicken in the pan and once one side of the strips are browned, flip over. Then pour the rest of the marinade onto the pan, tossing around the chicken.
- Cook chicken and marinade for a few seconds, then add coconut milk. Allow to boil, then simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with crunchy veggies and some fluffy wholegrain rice garnished with some coriander.
