seems to make enough sauce for twice the amount of chicken, but maybe i just measured wrong. tastes amazing though, next time im gonna add some lemon cause im obsessed with lemon ^^
I added some shredded carrots to it but dang it was so great I appreciate the recipe
I’m so glad you loved the recipe!!
Delicious.
I changed a couple of ingredients to make the dish a wee bit healthier:
I used coconut Sugar instead Brown sugar)
and tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
instead of corn starch
