1. Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, though thighs stay juicier. If using breasts, reduce cook time slightly to avoid drying out.

2. Can I make this recipe dairy-free or gluten-free?

Yes! Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.

3. How can I thicken the sauce without cornstarch?

You can use arrowroot powder or simply simmer the sauce longer to reduce naturally.

4. What can I serve this with?

Perfect with rice, quinoa, stir-fried vegetables, or even noodles for an Asian-inspired bowl.
