Prepare pie crust according to package directions for TWO-CRUST PIE using 9-inch pie pan. Heat oven to 400°F.

Melt 1 tablespoon margarine in small saucepan. Blend in cornstarch, ginger, pepper, mustard, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add orange juice. Bring to a boil; cook until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in large skillet. Cook chicken, onions, bell pepper and garlic over medium heat until chicken is completely cooked. Stir in coconut, almonds, raisins, olives, capers and the orange sauce. Continue to cook until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Spoon into pie crust-lined pan. Top with second crust and flute; cut slits in several places.

Bake at 400°F. for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
