Read my Yacon Syrup Information blog post.At any rate, Gluten-Free Yacon Mustard Chicken will become a family favorite.
Yacon Mustard Chicken:
Yacon Syrup is from Peru. Yacon is high in (FOS) fructooligosaccharides which is a soluble fiber prebiotic and aid in lowering cholesterol. As a matter of fact, 30% of Yacon syrup is made up of FOS as well as being high in magnesium and calcium. By the way, this is just a little about the syrup. Consequently, I have found Yacon Syrup at my local natural grocery type of stores. However, if you are unable to find it here is a link to Yacon Syrup.
While this recipe uses only the thick part of canned unsweetened coconut milk, as a result, you will need to pour the remaining coconut milk into a sealable jar and place it in the fridge. The remaining milk can be used in other recipes.
