"This is my sister's recipe and I am always on the hunt for dairy and seafood free recipe's for my allergic son. Most Mahogany Chicken recipe's have hoisin sauce which usually has some form of seafood. This recipe has only 3 ingredients, which is super easy and tastes fantastic! Way to go Colleen!"
