Not-So-Bourbon Chicken

 Not-So-Bourbon Chicken

4-5 chicken breasts
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
pinch red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. cornstarch


Cube chicken and cook in olive oil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  In a medium sized bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.  Whisk it all together until cornstarch is dissolved and well blended.  When your chicken has a nice brown on some of the pieces, pour the sauce into the pan.  Stir it around to cover all chicken pieces.  Reduce heat to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes, stirring a couple times in between.


Serve over rice.



TJ gave this recipe a 5 out of 10.  It's not bad, but left something to be desired.  Almost felt like there needs to be a veggie or some other spice in there.  Just not sure what it should be.  The source where I got this recipe loves it though.  So maybe it's just us. :)
