1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts Chicken thighs can be substituted for a leaner cut.
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Brown Sugar Honey can be used for a different sweetness profile.
1/4 cup Bourbon Brings a unique richness to the sauce.
3 cloves Garlic Fresh or minced for aroma.
1 tbsp Ginger Grated for a hint of spice and warmth.
2 stalks Green Onions For garnish.

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm a splash of oil.
Add diced chicken and cook until it's golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, garlic, and ginger.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir occasionally and ensure the chicken is well coated.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.

For a bit of heat, you can sprinkle in some red pepper flakes. Consider adding bell peppers or snap peas for added color and nutrition.
