Chicken with Almond Coconut Dipping Sauce


1.5 pound chicken tenders (or chicken breast cut into strips)

Chicken Seasoning:
3 tablespoons tamari
2 teaspoons coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup almond butter 
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup water
1 garlic clove tamari
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
1 teaspoon
3 teaspoons sesame oil
1.5 tablespoons fish sauce 

Turn oven broiler or grill to a high heat.
Season the chicken and broil or grill for 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Put all ingredients for dipping sauce into a food processor (can also be whisked together). Process or whisk until smooth.
Serve the dipping sauces with the chicken. Garnish with chopped scallions if desired.
***I used peanut butter instead of almond butter, but then it was not paleo. It was still very yummy. Also, I didn't use fish sauce, I just added a little more salt (that is the typical substitute). The sauce was then very salty. I'd go light with the salt espceially if your PB or Almond butter is salted.
