Notes
  • I have used chicken tenderloins in this recipe, which I find easy to manage with the cooking time. You can also use breast pieces or boneless thighs.
  • You can use your choice of veggies for the salad.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for 2-3 days.
