Happy Valentine’s Day!
I hope you have something fun planned for today, even if you are single! My husband works late, which means I don’t want to spend all night in the kitchen preparing dinner for myself. This recipe is perfect if you want a delicious meal but don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking in the kitchen!
Slow Cooker Bourbon Chicken Recipe:
(Serves 4-6)
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
Directions:
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of slow cooker. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, apple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, water and soy sauce. Pour sauce on top of chicken. Replace lid and cook 6-8 hours on low. Remove chicken and shred or cut into chunks. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup cornstarch with 1/4 cup of sauce from the crock pot. Whisk together and pour back into the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Return chicken to the slow cooker and let warm until ready to serve. Serve over rice and garnish with additional red pepper flakes.

This sounds delicious and will definitely try it. However, can anyone explain why when using the slow cooker my food has so much liquid. It never looks like the pictures I see.
We use a slotted spoon when we dish it out of the Crock Pot and only use as much liquid as we want. Hope this helps! -The Six Sisters
This looks and sounds amazing! Thanks! Enjoy your night!
I dont have a crock pot
is there another way of making it? I Love Bourbon Chicken!!
I found this information on Google. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Convert the Crock-Pot cooking time for low settings. If a dish requires cooking in a Crock-Pot on the low setting for 4 to 8 hours, it will usually only require 30 to 45 minutes in the regular oven. For items that take 6 to 10 hours in the Crock-Pot on the low setting, plan on cooking in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes.
Not sure how accurate this is. Be sure to keep an eye on it.
No bourbon?
Where is the Pintrest button?
It’s the “Pin It” button right under the picture.
Why is it called Bourbon Chicken if there isn’t any Bourbon in it, am I missing something????
I’ve read the recipe several times and then decided to read the comments. Glad I’m not loosing my mind when I didn’t see bourbon listed. Is the sauce suppose to mimic the bourbon taste?
you call is bourbon chicken but there is no bourbon in it? not really a bourbon chicken then is it?
I was excited to see the recipe but alas… no bourbon! Does the recipe have an error?
No bourbon….no error. The name actually comes from the name of a street – Bourbon Street, not the alcohol. It’s so delicious. NO Bourbon!!
LOL!! Thank you
Hi Sixsisters,
Thank you sooo much for the recipe! I’ll definitely spread the word!
Thank you again,

I wanted to make this today but realized my soy sauce isn’t low sodium.
will it make a difference if I use that or should I wait until I get low sodium? It looks delicious!
It won’t make a difference at all. We were just trying to use a little healthier version of soy sauce.
