  2. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until caramelized and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, honey, and a splash of lime juice. Heat over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly, then cool.
