Meanwhile, melt coconut oil in large, nonstick skillet on medium heat. Cook onions, ginger, garlic and thyme 5 min., until onion is tender. Stir in chicken, barbecue sauce, cumin and remaining ⅓ cup (75 mL) coconut milk. Cook 5 min., stirring, until chicken mixture is heated through. Squeeze on juice of one lime; mix well.
