Bourbon Chicken

A classic cajun dish served at home. Adapted from Stove Top Bourbon Chicken.

2 boneless chicken breasts
3 cups Mahatma Jasmine Rice
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
2 tablespoon olive oil

Sauce:
1/4 cup cider vinegar (maybe half of that)
1/4 cup apple juice (?)
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder

1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and add rice, butter, and salt. Cook for 15 minutes or until rice absorbs all the water.
2. Combine all ingredients for sauce in a bowl and mix until smooth.
3. Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks and coat in olive oil. Fry in large skillet until lightly browned. (about 8-10 min, turning once mid-cycle)
4. Stir in sauce and bring to a hard boil.
5. Stir in frozen stir-fry vegetables and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
6. Serve over hot rice.
