Recipe Day

I'm on a roll guys. Three days in a ROW. Today I decided to bring you one of my favorite recipes. Those of you with the Capitol Hill Ward Cookbook already have this recipe but some of you may not, so I am posting it. I decided to post a recipe because: 1) I haven't really had a functioning stove or kitchen for over two months hence I haven't cooked much that I couldn't do in the microwave or toaster oven. 2) I love to eat. And 3) this is just plain delicious and it will one of the first meals I make once our kitchen is functioning again. (Tomorrow?)

Sidenote: If you have never had Bourbon Chicken before please note that my recipe contains no bourbon AND it is named after Bourbon STREET, not necessarily the liquor. Ha.

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

1/3 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup soy sauce

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet.

2. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.

3. Remove chicken.

4. Add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well mixed and dissolved.

5. Add chicken and bring to a hard boil.

6. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

7. Serve over hot rice and enjoy. We like to eat this will broccoli and pineapple also.

I tried to find a good picture of this dish online but didn't come up with anything that does it justice. Maybe I will have to take on the next time I make it. I got this recipe a few years ago off of recipezaar with is by far my favorite recipe site in the world. Hope you all enjoy. I will. Soon. Eat it.
