Bourbon Chicken (NO alcohol)


Okay, so immediately after tasting this, I realized what everyone was raving about! The sauce has a great flavor, just the right amount of sweetness and spice. It is also such a simple recipe...which of course makes meals 10 times better! There is no BOURBON in this recipe...who knows why it is called bourbon?? Anyone? Anyway, it is delicious, my hubby said it is one of the best chicken dishes I have ever MADE! Points with the husband can never hurt. Definitely serve it over rice...of course, we used brown rice. MMM!


Adapeted From: Blog Chef


2lb boneless skinless chicken breasts 

2 Tbs. oil (for frying) 

4 Tbs. cornstarch 


Sauce

 1 garlic clove (minced) 

1/4 teaspoon ginger 

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 

1/4 cup apple juice 

1/3 cup light brown sugar 

2 tablespoon ketchup 

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 

1/2 cup water 

1/3 cup soy sauce (or Bragg Liquid Aminos to be GF)


Cut chicken breasts into bit sized pieces, and lightly dust with cornstarch. Heat oil in your wok or frying pan and fry chicken until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

In a separate bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into wok or frying pan and bring to a boil. 

Add chicken back to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve over rice...delish!

Looks good to me. I will have to try it next week sometime. I have all of the ingredients just need the apple cider vinegar. Thanks for another good idea!
