Ingredients

  • 3 tsp garlic, minced
  • ⅔ c brown sugar
  • ¼ c ketchup
  • ¼ c apple juice
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tsp
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ to ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ c water
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • ½ c soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

Slice the chicken breasts into small cuts. Use paper towels to pat them dry. Put them into a large bowl followed by 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Toss to coat.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add sesame oil and allow it to become hot.

Add the coated chicken into the hot skillet, then cook all sides for a few minutes until they turn golden brown. Remove any accumulated juice from the skillet.

Combine minced garlic, ketchup, apple juice, ground ginger, soy water, sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and pepper in a bowl. Add it into the skillet and stir to combine. Make sure to deglaze the skillet by scraping the bottom. Allow the mixture to boil.

Reduce the heat to low, then simmer the sauce for about 7 minutes. Make sure to stir from time to time.

Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the sauce to thicken by leaving it at room temperature for at least 5 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I highly recommend serving this over rice. You can use 1/4 cup of apple juice in exchange for bourbon. Feel free to use chicken thighs for this recipe. Make sure to use a large skillet.
