This Bourbon Chicken with Broccoli combines tender chicken and perfectly cooked broccoli in a glossy bourbon sauce, offering a sweet and savory bite with every spoonful. The sauce, with its hint of smokiness and slight spice, elevates the simple chicken and veggie combo to a whole new level.
- Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions, chopped for garnish
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pour the bourbon sauce over the cooked chicken and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce reduce for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
- Meanwhile, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the broccoli to the skillet with the chicken, and toss to combine. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is coated with the sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
