A flavorful chicken dish named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana.
This was a copycat recipe I found & modified of the Bourbon Chicken sold in most Chinese take-outs; which rarely use bourbon as a component. It's wonderfully sweet & spicy without being too hot. For kids that don't like hotstuffs, cut down on the pepper flakes!

Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts ; cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil ; (1-2)
- 1 garlic clove ; crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch ; (if thick sauce desired)
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large skillet.
- Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
- Remove chicken.
- Add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well blended and dissolved.
- Add chicken and bring to a hard boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered.
- Serve over hot rice.
NOTES:
- I also like to mix about 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce (found in the asian food section of the grocery store) in with the ketchup for additional heat. Do it if you like it spicey!
