Chinese Bourbon Chicken

Name: Chinese Bourbon Chicken
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch chunks; 1/2 tsp sea salt; 1/2 tsp ground black pepper; 3 tbsp cornstarch; 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen); 1 tsp cornstarch; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup bourbon (whiskey); 1 tsp ground ginger; 1 tbsp brown sugar; Sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish; Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

Season chicken chunks with salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken 3–4 minutes until golden.
Add mango chunks and cook 1 minute.
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with soy sauce until dissolved. Add bourbon and brown sugar; whisk until sugar dissolves.
Pour sauce over chicken and stir to coat.
Simmer over medium heat until sauce thickens (less than 1 minute — it goes fast).
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over white rice.

Notes

All ingredients must be ready before you start — this comes together in under 2 minutes once cooking begins.

If sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of chicken broth or water.

Store leftovers up to 5 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer.
