Bourbon Chicken

I found this recipe on a website and it had 2,397 positive reviews, so I had to try it. It was such a good dish that we didn't have enough for 2 leftover dishes for tomorrow! Definitely a must try!

Ingredients:

• 2-3 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Heat oil in skillet and add chicken pieces.

4. Remove chicken mixture to a plate
5. Add remaining ingredients to pan and heat over medium heat until mixed and dissolved
6. Add chicken mixture back to sauce and bring to a boil
