- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons ketchup

- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water

Instructions
- To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the cubed chicken. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
- As the chicken is cooking, mix together the bourbon, soy sauce, chicken stock, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Return to the heat to simmer over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes.
