Chef's tips

  • Refogue o alho antes de adicionar o frango para evitar queimar
  • Adicione salsa fresca por cima antes de servir para manter o sabor intenso
  • Para economizar tempo, prepare a frigideira com frango e molho antes de ir ao trabalho

Variations

  • Para uma versão mais saudável, use peito de frango grelhado em vez de assado
  • Para um molho mais cremoso, adicione um pouco de leite evaporado no molho de mostarda
  • Para um toque de picante, adicione uma pitada de pimenta vermelha ao molho

Substitutions

  • Substituir o mel por açúcar mascavo para quem não gosta de açúcar adicional
  • Substituir o azeite por óleo de coco para reduzir o sabor do azeite
  • Substituir o frango por linguiça para uma versão mais leve

How to store
