4) Marinate 1 hour at room temperature or as long as overnight in refrigerator.
When ready to cook: heat grill.
5) In a heavy saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, ginger, garlic and cayenne to make peanut sauce.

7) Whisk in chicken stock and cream. Cook 1 minute more, whisking. (Keep warm while grilling chicken.)
8) Remove chicken from marinade and place on hot grill. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until browned and no longer pink in center.
9) Spoon peanut sauce over hot chicken and sprinkle with cilantro.
