FAQs
Q. Can I use a different type of meat instead of chicken breast?
A: While this recipe specifically calls for chicken breast, you can experiment with other meats like chicken thighs or even tofu to suit your preferences.

A: Yes, feel free to adjust the sugar and honey quantities in the sauce to match your taste preferences. You can add more or less depending on your desired level of sweetness.
