Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 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

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. 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).
