This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a fan of bananas, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also used frozen nectarines and they worked just fine.

I substituted brown sugar for the honey and it turned out great! I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
