Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts. Slice the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes until the chicken starts to brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the water, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, and bourbon. Stir in the ketchup, cornstarch, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. Add the brown sugar and whisk until it dissolves into the sauce.

Return the browned chicken to the pan and stir to coat it in the sauce.

Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened to your liking.
