Gingered Coconut Chicken Breast Chunks

Technically this is an appetizer, but I prepared it as a main dish because it made so much! I used chicken breasts cut into pieces instead of tenders. We didn't have any curry (my mistake) so I didn't use it, but think it would be even better with that kick. Read more I served the dish with wild rice. See less
