Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions. I would not recommend cooking this on high, I think there would be a good chance of the sauce scorching at a higher heat. If you are in a time crunch, consider making the stovetop version of Marry Me Chicken.
