Curried Coconut Chicken

So so good!  I found this on Allrrecipes.com but I made two very important changes - I do not cook the chicken until the very end.  I have found that if you cook chicken really long it becomes tough!  I also use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce, that cuts the cooking time down. If you want a runnier sauce then use the tomato sauce as listed
