This has easily become my favorite chicken and rice meal! I got it at My Kitchen Cafe - which has become one of my favorite recipe sites!

Bourbon Chicken (don't worry - there's no bourbon in it!)

Ingredients:

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

4 tablespoons oil (for pan-frying)

cornstarch (for dusting, optional)

Sauce:

1 garlic clove (minced)

¼ teaspoon ginger (I used ground ginger)

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

¼ cup apple juice

1/3 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

½ cup water

1/3 cup soy sauce

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, and if you choose lightly dust with cornstarch. Heat oil in your wok and fry chicken bits in batches until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into wok and bring to a boil. Add chicken bits back to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

So delicious with a little bit of a kick!
