Bourbon Chicken

This is pretty much the only stir fry I make now. It tastes so good and is a little bit spicy. It is from the Kitchen Cafe blog. I changed it just a little bit, so here is the original.

Bourbon Chicken
adapted from Blog Chef

Ingredients:
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
cornstarch (for dusting, optional)
sesame oil

Sauce:
1 garlic clove (minced)
¼ teaspoon ginger (I used ground ginger)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I use about 1/4 tsp.)
¼ cup apple juice (or a little more)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 boullon cube
1 heaping teaspoon cornstarch

Vegetables of choice: I use zucchini, carrots, onion, peppers, celery, or anything you like. Chop all of them small.

Combine all sauce ingredients. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, and if you choose lightly dust with cornstarch. Heat sesame oil in your wok and brown chicken. Add sauce ingredients and all the vegetables. Bring to boil, then turn down to simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Sauce will thicken and vegetables will soften. Serve over rice.

Thanks for the recipe, Lisa! I tried it tonight and it was really good. The kids ate it up. I always buy the bags of mixed vegetables so I don't have to chop everything up.
