Bourbon Chicken

This recipe is another pinterest find.  When I saw it, I knew I had to make it because the boy LOVES Bourbon Chicken from New Orleans, and I was hoping it was similar.  It was pretty good, but a little sweet for me.  The boy loved it though and went back for multiple helpings. 

Here is the recipe:

Crock-pot Bourbon Chicken


2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce

Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Place chicken in the crock pot and pour mixture over the chicken.

Then cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours.

Remove cooked chicken from the crockpot, and shred in a separate bowl.

Return shredded to the crockpot and let it rest in the cooking juices on warm for 30 mins.

Serve over rice with stir-fry veggies.
