Bourbon Chicken
(Just to rest your mind before we get started, this does not have Bourbon in it--it's named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, LA.)
2 lb Chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 clove Garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon Ginger
1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 Cup Apple Juice
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar
1/2 Cup Water
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
Hot Cooked Rice
In a large skillet cook the Chicken; remove from skillet and set aside. Combine remaining ingredients, stirring until well mixed and smooth; pour into skillet. Stir in the Chicken and bring to a hard boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until sauce is well thickened. Serve over Rice. Serves 4.
I found this recipe on Pintrest (link to the original is here). This is quick and easy and uses kitchen staples. I didn't have the Apple Juice so I substituted some red cooking wine that I had. I also gave it an Asian twist by drizzling the sauce with some Sesame Oil and sprinkling in some Toasted Sesame Seeds. Serve with stir-fried Broccoli (seasoned with crushed Garlic and some more Sesame Oil and Sesame Seeds) and you've got a yummy Asian meal ready in just a snap!
