  1. To make the sauce, whisk the coconut aminos, broth, vinegar, coconut sugar, seasonings, and arrowroot starch together and set aside.

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce- Simply add 1-2 tbsp of more chicken broth if you like a thinner sauce!
  • For a thicker sauce- Combine 1 tsp of arrowroot starch with about 1 tbsp of broth and whisk. Add to the pan and simmer for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
