🕒 Prep Time: 10 min |🍳 Cook Time: 20 min |⏱️ Total Time: 30 min

Ingredients:

  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lime

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prep the chicken and aromatics.
