Bourbon Chicken with Broccoli Directions
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the bourbon, reduced-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, reduced-sugar ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ground ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to absorb the flavors.
- While the chicken is simmering, steam the broccoli until tender.
- Serve the bourbon chicken over rice with steamed broccoli on the side, drizzling extra sauce over the top.
