Bourbon chicken is one of my favorite mall foods, you know, the kind of food you get only when at the mall?
I knew I had to find a way to prepare it in a much lower carb way. Here are the results of my attempt. It’s a hit!

Ingredients

2 Lbs Chicken Breast ( cut in bit size pieces)

4 cloves chopped garlic

1/ 2 tsp ginger paste

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes- (Use less for a less spicy dish)

1/2 cups of Apple Juice sweetened with splenda – Healthy Balance Apple Juice

3 tablespoons of splenda brown sugar blend

4 tablespoons sugar free ketchup

2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar

4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons bourbon

*1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional)

Method:

Heat oil in pan and add chicken pieces. Cook for about 6 minutes then remove from pan.

In a bowl mix remaining ingredients except the xanthan gum.

In the same pan at the liquid mixture and bring to slow bowl for about 4  minutes.

Add the chicken and cook covered on medium low heat for about 15 minutes.

*If mixture is not think enough you can add the xanthan gum to thicken.

Serve with cauliflower fried rice. Enjoy!
