I made dinner on Sunday night for us and some friends, and it turned out soooo yummy! I think that anyone who likes Chinese food should try it! It was super easy, and it didn't take long at all to make. I would have taken pictures, but I'm not a super talented chef so it didn't look fancy enough for pictures. Maybe someday I'll try to do that. Anyway, here is the recipe. Note- this served 4 adults, one serving each. If you think anyone will want seconds or you like having leftovers, I'd definitely double the recipe.
Bourbon Chicken
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 good size chicken breasts), cut into bite sized pieces.
1-2 TB olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 C apple juice
1/3 light brown sugar
2 TB ketchup
1 TB apple cider vinegar
1/2 C water
1/3 C soy sauce
1 TB corn starch
1 tsp Siracha sauce (optional, but I recommend it!)
1. Heat oil in a large skillet.
2. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
3. Remove chicken, add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well blended and dissolved.
4. Add chicken and bring to a hard boil.
5. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered.
6. Mix in about 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce with the mix if you want to add a bit of extra spice. (This sauce is usually found by the Asian food in the grocery store, by the soy sauce.)
7. Serve over hot rice.
We had garlic cauliflower with it and it was delicious, but something like hot broccoli would be yummy too. Let me know if you try it!
