- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup bourbon
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- sliced green onions, for garnish
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. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
While the dish is simmering, make the slurry. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir until the sauce is thickened.
Serve over rice and garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
