Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Large cast iron skillet

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound Chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Jim Beam Bourbon
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut chicken with the cornstarch. Leave this mixture for 5 minutes so that the cornstarch velvets the chicken.
  • Rinse the cornstarch off of the chicken and dry the chicken pieces.
  • Heat avocado oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken. Cook for 5-10 minutes, tossing to prevent the chicken from sticking to the skillet.
  • When the chicken is completely cooked through, remove to a plate and lightly cover with foil to keep warm.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine ginger, onion powder, crushed red pepper, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, bourbon, chicken broth, and cornstarch.
  • Pour the ingredients into the cast iron skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often.
  • Once the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened (about 10 minutes), add the chicken back into the sauce.
  • Stir to coat the chicken pieces with sauce. Serve immediately with hot fluffy white rice.
