Add mushroom and stir to cook until nice and soft, salt and pepper to taste, add boiler onions back in. Pour in the coconut juice, bring to a boil. Add chicken in with the brown juice from roasting. Add wine. Thicken the sauce with 1/2 t cornstarch. Add more salt and soy sauce to taste, turning the chicken to coat with sauce. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro and fresh ground pepper on top then serve.
