Bourbon Chicken
This bourbon chicken has me feeling like I am walking the malls food court trying to decide on what I want and then I am enticed with the inevitable bourbon chicken sample! It’s usually a battle between Chick-fil-A or Chinese food. Obviously bourbon chicken won today! This recipe was a mix between a few others and then I had added some of my own twist to it. I really loved how it turned out and tasted. I paired it with some brown rice and zucchini.
Tip for your chicken being extra tasty. Marinade it with the sauce for at least an hour. It definitely makes the world of a difference!
For this recipe I used the brand Bulleit Bourbon Whiskey. It is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
INGREDIENTS:
-4 chicken breasts
-1/2 cup chicken broth
-2/3 cup water
-2 tbsp cornstarch
-sesame seeds
-green onion
SAUCE:
-4 tbsp bourbon
-2 tbsp coconut oil
-2/3 liquid aminos
-1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-2/3 cup dark brown sugar
-1 tbsp sesame oil
-sea salt
-pepper
-minced garlic
-garlic powder
-ginger
-crushed red pepper
METHOD:
Cut chicken into bite size pieces, and set aside. Prepare the sauce in bowl and then add your chicken. Let chicken marinate for at least an hour before cooking. Once chicken is marinated, pour a little sesame oil in frying pan and cook the marinated chicken on medium high. Be sure not to overcook your chicken. When chicken is almost done cooking add in the chicken broth, water, cornstarch, green onion and sesame seeds on top. Simmer for a few more minutes until sauce thickens. I paired the chicken with some brown rice and grilled zucchini. Plate it up and enjoy!
