http://www.simplyscratch.com/2010/04/spicy-bourbon-chicken-minus-whiskey.html

1 Garlic Clove, grated
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger {or 1/4 teaspoon dried}
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 cup Water
1/4 cup Apple Juice
1/3 cup Soy Sauce
1/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons Ketchup
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tablespoon Olive Oil, divided
1 tablespoon Butter
2lbs chicken breasts, sliced horrizontally (all the way through)
2 bunches or 3 Cups of Fresh Broccoli florets, rinsed
6 cups of Cooked Rice
3 Green Onions, sliced for garnish


Combine the grated garlic and ginger in a medium sized bowl. Next add the red pepper flakes, brown sugar, ketchup, water, apple juice, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, apple cider and soy sauce in with the garlic and ginger; whisk to combine and set aside.

Slice the thin chicken breasts into strips and then bite size pieces.

Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken and cook until lightly browned. Once crispy and brown; pour the sauce into the pan, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom and bring to a boil. Add broccoli florets, cover and cook until the broccoli is tender and sauce reduces, about 3-4 minutes. Remove lid and let sauce thicken for a couple of more minutes if desired. Serve over hot rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
