Sauté the chicken on both sides for 4-5 minutes per side until slightly browned. Set Aside.
Add the coconut milk, Tasty Thai Seasoning, the juice from one of the limes to a small bowl and whisk together.
Add the chicken broth to the bottom of the skillet & scrape up the brown bits off the bottom. Bring to a simmer and add the coconut mixture and the cilantro leaves and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat, add the chicken back to the pan and simmer for 6-8 minutes until liquid is reduced by half and chicken is fully cooked.
