Instructions:

  4. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and let marinate for a few minutes.

Make it vegan: Replace chicken with 1 large head of cauliflower. Bake the cauliflower at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, or pan-fry it.

Make it cheezy: Add 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast to sauce mixture for a vegan-friendly cheeze sauce.
