Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup bourbon
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water

Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed chicken and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk together the bourbon, soy sauce, chicken broth, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
- Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Serve the bourbon chicken over rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
