- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine coconut milk, minced garlic, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Cut chicken into strips and marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
