Notes
Chicken is done cooking when it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tapioca flour really thickens the sauce. I suggest adding a little to start and adjusting to your desired preference.
The longer the sauce simmers/sautés, the thicker it will become.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
