Ingredients

3 boneless chicken breast halves cut into small bite size pieces

Extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves Garlic chopped fine

3/4 tsp Ground ginger

1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes

1/4 cup Apple Juice I used sugar free apple sauce and was fine

1/3 cup Light brown sugar I was fine using Splenda Brown Sugar

2 tbs Ketchup

1 tbs Apple cider Vinegar

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup Soy sauce

1 tbs Corn starch Use less I thought it got a little thick

1/4 cup Carrot chopped

1/4 cup Celery chopped


Directions

1. Heat Oil in Large Skillet or Pot (enough to coat bottom) 2. Add Chicken and cook till lightly brown (Cook to almost complete - you will finish cooking when you add back to sauce) Remove chicken from Pan (leaving oil and drippings) 3. Add Celery and Carrots to pan and cook till soft 4. Add Garlic and Red Pepper flakes to Pan. Cook 30 seconds - don't burn the garlic - this will also bring out the heat in the pepper flakes 5. Add remaining ingredients to the pan. heating on medium heat until well mixed and dissolved. 6. Add chicken back in - bring to hard boil 7. Mix a little water and cornstarch together so it wont clump in pan (2 tbs water at most) add to pan 8. Reduce heat and simmer 10 mins. Make sure sauce doesn't get to thick and chicken doesn't dry out (that's why you should only cook to 75% complete in step 2) Serve over rice or mashed potatoes. ENJOY
