Mall-Style Bourbon Glazed Chicken

Remove any excess fat from the boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of ground pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the remaining salt, pepper, brown sugar, water, low-sodium soy sauce, bourbon, ground ginger, garlic powder, rice vinegar, and sugar-less ketchup in a bowl. Whisk until well combined.

After the chicken is cooked, add the sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium and cook until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and serve the Mall-Style Bourbon Glazed Chicken over cooked rice.
