Bourbon Chicken

Any comments, thoughts, or tips on the Bourbon Chicken?

2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1-2 tbs olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes ( I used less because I don't know how hot different families like different foods)
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tbs ketchup
1 tbs cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce

1 Heat oil in 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 min.
Serve over hot rice and Enjoy

when making it for freezer meals I bring to a hard boil and then take off heat and put in freezer bags. I let it simmer for 15-20 min. when reheating it to cook.

*only lightly brown the chicken, with the chicken cut in small pieces they cook fast so if you brown too long then by the time the sauce has thickened the chicken is way over cooked.
