Stir together half a cup of coconut milk, garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper until the sugar has dissolved. Marinate the chicken, covered, for at least 2 hours in the marinade.
Bring 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, peanut butter, chicken stock, and a quarter cup of brown sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
