Coconut Almond Chicken

This is converted from a peanut sauce recipe that was originally meant to be served cold. I thought it was better warm. you can serve this dish with just about any grain. I suggest rice noodles. It tastes rich and hearty. This could also be done with tofu in place of the chicken for vegetarians.
