Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 pounds chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger minced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Instructions
Heat sesame oil and canola oil in a large skillet.
Add in chicken and saute until fully cooked and browned.
Add in garlic and ginger and saute for 1-2 minutes. (Add in more oil if needed)
In a medium bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon and rice wine vinegar.
Add sauce to the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and water.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and stir frequently until thickened, 2-3 minutes.

Notes
I served this over rice and it made a lovely meal. If you don't have the sesame seeds and green onions, it really isn't necessary to include them. We use very little salt and would adjust the amount of the soy sauce down.
