2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat to medium.

Add more oil if needed and add the garlic and ginger to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. 

Add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, rice vinegar  chicken broth, coconut milk, lime juice pan. Stir to mix, scraping up any browned bits remaining in the pan from the chicken.

Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce, and add cilantro and Sriracha if desired. Cover and turn heat down to low. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Serve with sugar snap peas, rice or cauliflower rice. Spoon some sauce over everything for serving. Sprinkle with cilantro and garnish with lime slices if desired.
