Bourbon Chicken

This is a great recipe that I found, tried, altered a little and the family loves it.  
I thought I would pass it on to you.
Hope you enjoy it!

Bourbon Chicken


Ingredients:


2lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

1-2 tablespoons oil (for pan-frying) 

Broccoli

Sauce:


1 garlic clove (minced)
¼ teaspoon ginger (I used ground ginger)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup apple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ cup water

1/3 cup soy sauce
(gluten free)

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, and cook.  Heat oil in your pan fry chicken bits until lightly browned, set aside.
 
In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into pan and bring to a boil, add a little cornstarch and water mixture to thicken it to your desire. Add chicken bits back to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. You can add steamed broccoli to the sauce now or have it on the side.  Serve over rice.
Note:I usually double the sauce because we like a lot of sauce to go over our rice.
