Not So Boozy Bourbon Chicken

Ingredients

  1. 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  2. 1/2 cup apple juice
  3. 1/4 cup water
  4. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  5. 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  6. 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  7. 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  8. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  9. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  10. 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1- inch chunks
  11. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  12. Optional – sliced green onions or chives to garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, apple juice, water, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through, 7-8 minutes.
  4. Add in the soy sauce mixture, and stir to combine.
  5. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by about half.
  6. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  7. Add this into the chicken and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, as the mixture will thicken quickly.
  8. Remove the pan from the heat and serve over rice. Top with green onions if desired.
