The directions are a little vague. You went from Remove from the pan to cook. So, take the chicken out, mix with sauce and put back in the stove or?

This is soooo good and sooo easy. Also super clean! My picky eaters loved it and it gave way to make chicken cause we were running out of ideas! I use chicken breast and chopped it in cubes and used the 8 garlic clover worth it. The only thing was my sauce wouldn’t thicken and I didn’t want to over cook the chicken so I pulled the chicken out and added a spoon of tapioca flour to the sauce and it came out perfect!

Thank you for sharing!

Amazing! I did make a marinade of soy sauce honey garlic and lemon as listed and marinated for an hour before and after that followed the directions. I served with lemon cilantro garlic rice. Delicious and will make again. I might try on grill after marinating longer next time. Thanks
