If you want to lower the sugar you can swap out the brown sugar for an all-natural brown sugar substitute, or use coconut sugar for a healthier version. I wanted to get as close to the real thing as this was a reader recipe request.
Special Tip: You could swap out the chicken breasts for 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
