Notes

You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. Adjust cooking time as needed.
If you don’t have garlic puree, you can use 2-3 cloves of minced garlic.
For a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) towards the end of the cooking time.
Serve with a side salad or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
